Larry Jacobson

Larry has been my mentor for over a decade, long before he began officially mentoring others. I had the pleasure of working with Larry for nearly three years in my past and I have to say that writing a summary of everything I loved about my experience is difficult - there are far too many! But I'll try to share a few with you: 1) I think his professional background in technology & an industry experience are a rare combination that makes him an exceptional mentor. He is very good at asking the right questions to get to the bottom of my issues and then articulating his recommendations in simple and clear language. 2) He connects with you on a personal level, and he shares many of his own experiences on how he would have overcome those challenges, as well as the lessons learned from his past that can help us overcome those instances. He is very well composed and has helped many people overcome many stressful situations in their professional lives by finding the right work-life balance. The one thing I admire most about him is that he is a people person, and the way he communicates and presents information is incredible, which I have always admired about him. 3) He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and extremely organized! If you ask him a question, he'll almost certainly have a positive and constructive recommendation for you based on some of the great references that you can take away with you. I value his candid feedback on my work and how I work. Furthermore, his warm and kind personality makes learning from feedback enjoyable. 4) He is constantly on the lookout for opportunities to educate and inspire, assisting me not only in finding answers to questions but also in better understanding the problem. I wholeheartedly endorse his services and will continue to be his mentee !
