Gerry is one of the most inspiring marketer's I have ever worked with. It was this inspiration that resulted in his provocative campaign brief to explain "Why Hitachi?" to spearhead the repositioning of Hitachi's corporate brand in North America to business decision makers. The resulting highly successful Hitachi True Stories campaign was in large part due to his tenacity and verve in driving internal support for the campaign over a three year period. From the start Gerry lead a highly creative approach to the campaign fundamentals insisting on a digital platform that led to the web being the strategic hub of the campaign. His relentless collaboration with Hitachi busnesses resulted in 5 true story documentary films being developed in less than 3 months. Gerry was never satisfied and it was his constant desire to always improve the campaign that garnered the positive shifts in Hitachi's brand consideration during the campaign and its Effie finalist and One Show accolades. Gerry is not only inspiring to work with but a marketer who really can see around corners and is able to get the best strategic and creative thinking done while making it seem like a conversation among friends.

I worked with Gerry when he was General Manager of the Hitachi Web Strategy Center. He proved a very capable leader in getting the varied diverse interests of the very diverse Hitachi Group to pull together to strengthen the Hitachi brand on the web. He also pulled together a very novel brand training program on the web to help bridge the brand learning gap for Hitachi employees.

Mr. Corbett is a great and proven leader, visionary, and mentor. I learned so much while working with Gerry and alongside Chrislyn Brandt (Marketing Manager, Hitachi). When he would present a new idea or direction, you'd hear people say "I wish I had thought of that." He has been an ongoing inspiration, and I have great respect for him. He would be a great leader for any corporation.
