Joseph Colarusso Email & Phone Number

Joseph Colarusso is a Associate Director of Procurement and Technology at Zeta Charter Schools. They possess expertise in public policy, public speaking, leadership, legal research, politics and 22 more skills. Colleagues describe them as "Joseph is unlike anyone I have ever met. It would be easy to discuss his knowledge and flat-out brilliance in topics ranging from public policy and political strategy to classics and world history. He's acquired a fluency of complex ideas and fluidity with words that would intimidate even the most seasoned political pundits on TV. The fact that he can go toe-to-toe with just about anyone I've ever seen him debate is impressive but it's not actually the most interesting thing about him. Ultimately, what makes Joseph so far and above his peers is his humanity. His ability to relate to just about anyone, to convey a message with clarity and simplicity without diluting the facts, to draw anyone into a meaningful exchange-- this is what sets him apart from the rest. There are some skills that can be learned and others that one is simply born with, and Joseph possesses a natural warmth, magnetism, and ease that cannot be taught. What's truly amazing is that he doesn't just use these skills to his advantage but to the benefit of those around him. He is a leader in the truest sense of the word. He inspires and enables those around them to perform at their best and to succeed beyond their own expectations. In fact, it was because of his encouragement that I applied and was subsequently accepted into a highly competitive program at the University of Pennsylvania which I may not have applied to otherwise. Joseph is about to enter into one of the most challenging job markets in US history and he has approached this endeavor with the optimism, diligence, and good humor that I have come to expect from him. Even with the prospect of these imminent challenges, he has spent his time at St. John's University selflessly dedicated to public interest law and was recently awarded the prestigious Dean's Award for Employment Law as a result. Wherever Joseph ends up, I and anyone who has ever had the pleasure of meeting him have little doubt that Joseph will one day be a titan in his chosen field. As a former colleague and close friend, I have nothing but praise for him as he is a truly exceptional person.", "I've been reluctant to write Joe a recommendation because I know it will leave me sounding like an over-enthused groupie, but I guess we all have our crosses to bear. Joe is one of the most brilliant, charismatic and insightful people I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. No matter how impossible an obstacle may seem, he'll simply acknowledge it with a quirky joke and accomplish his goal anyways- unafraid of walking off the beaten track for a solution. He's the guy who asks the perceptive questions, leaving the rest of the room ready to hand him their business cards. I'm not sure who's going to snatch him up after he's achieved his law degree, but they'll be lucky to have him on board.", and "There are those rare times in life where one comes across a person who can completely captivate any audience with their intellect and sincerity. For me, Joe is that person. He is, in a word, brilliant. Joe is a fabulous communicator with an equally uncanny ability to see entire situations from every side and angle. Eloquent yet humble, Joe is the kind of worker that would greatly benefit any employer, and the kind of person that anyone would be lucky to meet. I recommend him highly."
