People who reported to me.
The recommendations I value most, because they come from the people who experienced the management rather than the output.
Steve Silverman
"Coming from an entrepreneurial background, having a 'boss' was a little scary to me. Simply put — Josh is the kind of manager that you could only hope for. Besides being kind, understanding, knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around; he is the guy you want in your corner to help you get to where you want to go. He works tirelessly to give you all the tools you need to be successful. Josh's presentation abilities are second to none. He can engage any audience on even the most mundane of topics.
"Working and learning from Josh has had a distinct impact on my career. I am a better communicator, leader and friend for having met him."
Performance ManagerVijay "V" Melwani, SHRM-CP
"Josh has been my mentor since I was in school. My first interaction with him opened my eyes because Josh is all about action. He's proactive, innovative, and a doer. He's a strategist and can get a team on board effortlessly. His role doesn't do him justice because he's always positively representing our club, meeting with fans face to face to get feedback about their experience, and always ready to act.
"He loves creating strategy around our Customer Service, after being inspired by the Walt Disney Company. Josh will hit the ground running and transform any club he joins — he's a visionary!"
HR Manager, Pixi BeautyClients, partners and colleagues.

He leads with forward thinking, and that speaks to the successes of the club & their continued marketing efforts… he provides an inspiring energy to push the conventional boundaries of the status quo."
