David Zucker

“David is one of those rare managers that you WANT to work for. I don’t mean report to or be managed by, but really work for—meaning work harder, faster, smarter, better. His ability to motivate and inspire others is, I believe, key to his success. As a manager, he is supportive, inquisitive, and always asking the question “What can I do for you?” As a business partner, he is growth-oriented, reliable, flexible, and has a great understanding of what it takes to drive a business. As a teacher, he is patient and giving of his knowledge and time. And as someone who, know matter how much experience he may have, is always seeking to know more. The sum of these parts is a leader who knows how to utilize his talents and leverage the talents of those around him to drive a business. I am fortunate for the time that I spent working with David and know that anyone that has the opportunity to work with him will feel the same. ”

“Highly Energetic Leader is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about David. His sheer amount of energy and tenacity are unbelievable. David is one of the most proactive, smart and business savvy CMO that I work with. He knows our business and partners very closely. He has the innate ability to both see the big picture and understand the details that ensure success in execution. He is a master at identifying and implementing the most appropriate analytical technique to answer the business question at hand, with solutions ranging from very basic to the most complex and cutting edge statistical methods. I was particularly impressed by David’s ability to lead even the toughest circumstances. I always found him to be an inspirational leader and someone who continually focused on achieving the objective despite any roadblocks that might exist. Furthermore, David is incredibly strategic and outstanding at execution at the same time-- a rare combination in the corporate environment. He was an invaluable CMO at Omaha Steaks in building a profitable business that became best-in-class in customer satisfaction and profit. He is more than a reliable marketing leader-- he is an inspired business leader with the clarity and instincts to create sustainable growth. David is also extremely creative-- both in his approach and his delivery. He is an excellent leader-- of both people and of business strategy. But importantly, David is also an outstanding person. Anyone would be extremely fortunate to work with him. ”
