I always looked forward to the opportunity to learn from Joe as he has a unique ability to communicate complex or dry concepts in a very engaging, approachable way. Joe is the definition of a great leader and will be a unicorn in whatever role he takes on. I would welcome the chance to work with him again and highly recommend him for any role."
