Luke Gorski Teaching people to market their passion.

Luke was an eager and ambitious team member at SimpleRelevance during our TechStars summer program. The program offered several perks/relationships that were difficult to keep track over over the course of three months, but Luke managed to keep us organized and prepared. He also wrote high-quality blogs and conducted invaluable research which helped build our annual marketing plan.

I had the absolute pleasure of working on a 10 week marketing research project with Luke. The premise of the project was to develop and utilize market research and create a marketing plan using a framework that was created by our professor at UIUC while earning his doctoral in Marketing Research.

Luke's enthusiasm and passion for this project was unmatched. After spending 5 hours locked in a room in the library, Luke was the one who took our work and spent an additional 5 hours on it at home that very same night. His knowledge of the marketing process was an invaluable asset to our team.

I sincerely appreciate his hard work and his dedication. Luke is exactly the type of person you want to be working along side. He will take an idea, develop it, and deliver it. Proceeding our presentation, our professor told us that we "narrowed the gap between undergrad and MBA students". I believe this comment was largely due to his hard work and excellent delivery of our ideas.

I have had the pleasure of working with Luke when he served as Vice President for the Student Association of Corporate Executives. He showed his willingness to work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. Luke's inter-personal and communication skills have allowed him to develop good working relationships with our team.

In the accounting classroom and in serving as the Vice President of the Student Association for Corporate Executives, Luke demonstrated leadership and a commitment toward excellence. I could always depend on Luke to add value to every project he managed.
