“I've known Jack since 1989, when I brought him on board to support a district heating development effort I was heading up in Canada. He put together a complete marketing plan and helping me hire and train the marketing team. Essentially he taught us how to sell district heating.
“From that very first project together, I've involved Jack in each of my career changes. When I moved on to a large district cooling system in the U.S., Jack was an integral part of the marketing and sales team. The same when I became president of a district cooling system on the East Coast. Jack wrote the marketing and sales plan, helped me select personnel and trained the staff. Then, when I moved on to Seattle Steam, Jack was instrumental in tracking down the right director of sales by helping to write the job description, conduct interviews for the position and coach the selected candidate. Jack consistently influenced a successful outcome in all of those systems.”
