It was through Mr. Roseman's effectiveness as a consultant/mentor that our management team was able to rethink our strategic direction.

"I have had the honor and pleasure of Jack's valuable advice from the time I was a student at the University, all the way until my business was successful. That success is not just in part a result of Jack's excellent input, but can be attributes in an enormous way to the leadership and interpersonal skills of this great businessman and lecturer. Someone with his experience and knowledge should be on every CEO's short list for top advisor."

Craig Marcus
Owner, Marcus Studios

"We are extremely fortunate to have Jack Roseman in the city of Pittsburgh as a resource for entrepreneurs and business leaders. He is one of those extremely rare individuals who can impart wisdom and tell you a terrific joke all at the same time. I am certain that I am among the majority of Jack's students who consider him a major influence, not only in their businesses, but in their lives in general."

Steve Czetli
Editor and Founder, TechyVent

"Jack Roseman is the quintessential advisor: wise, tough-minded and always thinking out of the box. His humor and optimism are infectious. His integrity is rock solid. It's hard to work with Jack without quickly coming to think of him as not only a mentor, but a friend."

"As the CEO of a growing company, it was difficult to find the right resources to advise our business. We needed someone who has stood in our shoes and had been confronted with not only making the decisions that take you down the right path when you reach that all important 'Y' in the road, but who had navigated through the challenges of the tough everyday choices. Jack was never afraid to ask the tough questions to ensure we had thoroughly thought through all aspects if a problem and supported us in whatever decision we finally made. Through Jack's strong ability to teach and mentor we formed a relationship based on respect, trust and friendship. Jack once told me that relationships are very important and that.the magic of life is in how souls respond to each other. I couldn't agree more and couldn't have found a better soul to mentor and advise us that Jack Roseman."
