Jake Obstfeld is a Head of Client Development at Evadata at Evadata. He possess expertise in fundraising, program development, grant writing, community outreach, nonprofits and 16 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Jake at A.T. Kearney where he really stood out for his initiative and willingness to jump in and help his colleagues. This was particularly important given the fast pace at which we worked. Serving as Jake’s mentor, I regularly checked in with his project managers and consistently heard about Jake’s great attitude and ability to work in dynamic team environments. While at A.T. Kearney, Jake was also able to leverage his previous change management and organizational behavior experience as he supported multiple initiatives. In addition, he developed knowledge in the areas of supply chain and operations which he put to good use supporting both client engagements and A.T. Kearney sponsored research. Jake also made a huge difference in office culture. He played a leadership role in the office committee that organized various events / activities to bring everyone together in social, professional and community settings. It was great to see such a well-rounded consultant who not only contributed to client related efforts, but also contributed to making the firm a better place for all consultants. Another great example of Jake making a difference in the work environment is the firm band he co-founded – with Jake on the bass guitar, this band had the esteemed honor of playing at our Americas Regional Meeting in front of 900 consultants! If someone is looking for a self-starter with a bias for action, Jake’s your guy!" and "I have worked with Jacob Obstfeld as a colleague and mentor from 2011 through 2012. While not under my direct supervision, I have had numerous opportunities to see Jacob’s work tendencies personally. I have been impressed with Jake’s work ethic, his use of his talents, and his demeanor. He has been a tremendous asset for our council. I became impressed with Jake’s work ethic at one of our fall camping events. Jake took the time to help an inner city unit put tents up, lay out their campsite and help them find their way around the camp property to all the events in addition to any other responsibilities he was tasked with. I have observed that Jake consistently goes the extra mile. He puts in the time and then some to make sure he meets objectives. Jake has demonstrated many talents I feel are key to success as a District Executive. Chief among these are an understanding of customer service and an ability to build relationships with volunteers. I have been impressed with his ability to then leverage those relationships into accomplishing district tasks. He has a creative mind in terms of program development and use of technology in order to be more efficient. He is quick to learn and rarely needs close inspection of his work. I think Jake’s demeanor also separates him from the pack. There is very little complaint when the going is tough, no excessive boasting of accomplishments; just genuine care to do his best work. It is my opinion that Jake would be an asset to any organization interested in giving him an opportunity. I give him full recommendation for any position in any organization without reservation."
