“Joel is an outstanding leader. His enthusiasm, intelligence, wit and passion is inspiring, and his support for his staff is exemplary. He’s one of those rare individuals who can maneuver adroitly in a corporate world, but who can also quickly get at — and appreciate — the essence of the task at hand, in a very detailed, hands-on way. Goal-oriented and excellent at strategic thinking. He was a joy to work with.”
