“I only work with people that I can trust. Bruce understands what it takes to build a team and was a core player on the Safeco executive team as we turned around our company and returned it to growth and profitability. He sets a great example to others and contributes with his knowledge, humility, marketing skills, and ability to find great people.”
“Bruce knows what it means build a company from the ground up, and to find the talent required to grow it. He is a highly capable, creative and connected business executive. Not only did Bruce help create a national marketing organization, he helped foster a company culture focused on team building – and results! He pulled many people into the company with the right stuff who helped us succeed.”
“I have known Bruce for a long time, as he and I started in brand management together at Pepsi-Cola many years ago! His work in startups and high-growth companies showed his colleagues and friends what it was like to take risks and succeed. Bruce has always been a connector of people. Heck, we’re even Facebook friends.”
