Rosa D’Acunti, Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Jeremiah delivered a keynote speech to my company’s top leadership, and I have to say it was one of the best – if not the best – motivational speech I have ever seen in my ~30 years in the business. People were laughing, people were crying, and everyone came out totally pumped. Jeremiah also went “above and beyond” what he was required to do by attending most of our 2 day conference and incorporating our company’s context, strategy, and vocabulary into his presentation. Amazing job, Jeremiah. A++!
