FAVORITE QUOTE

“Imagination has a great deal to do with winning.”

Best part of my job:

It is so gratifying when our members share their success stories and attribute their growth to ASI services. As a team we see analytics first-hand every day, but it means so much more when our members feel the impact.

Moment of Zen:

We’re a soccer family. My kids are 15 and 13 and nearly every weekend we travel to watch them play. The games are not relaxing. But in between games, I get to see them practice. I don’t know why – but watching them practice is super peaceful for me.

FAVORITE QUOTE

“I’d rather be some people’s brand of vodka than everyone’s cup of tea.”

Best part of my job

After 25 years at ASI, it’s still, as it always has been, the people in this industry, some of whom have become family to me (and consequently call me at all hours of the day and night). I’ve been to their weddings, kids’ christenings and bar mitzvahs, their retirement parties and their funerals. This industry is filled with wildly creative, deeply innovative and fiercely independent entrepreneurs, inspirational leaders and weapons-grade wackos… And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Moment of Zen

I haven’t been Zen since I gave up my BlackBerry.

FAVORITE QUOTE

“Play by the rules, but be ferocious.”

Best part of my job

Helping my team members develop, grow and succeed, seeing them overcome challenges they face, and watching them take bigger roles in the company. And of course, making budget.

Moment of Zen

Seeing people enjoy something that I cooked and then relaxing when everything is clean.

FAVORITE QUOTE

“I believe wholeheartedly in taking a breath (or three) before acting. It has served me and my team quite well.”

Best part of my job

Every day is different and unpredictable, and the people I work with are talented and dedicated.

Moment of Zen

It used to be coaching my son’s baseball teams, but since he’s in college now, it’s a lazy Sunday in the fall: New York Jets game, beer on ice, and burgers on the grill. Oh, plus a good glass of bourbon later in the night.
