Sincerely,
William Brown
Although Vak had worked in networking for a relatively short period of time when I met him, I could tell right away that he was very intelligent and would pick up the nuances of our products quickly. He did not disappoint. Vak is a highly motivated individual and is simply a nice guy to work with. I would not hesitate to do with business with him again.
Source: LinkedIn Anna Dispensa, MBA Mar 26, 2013Vak is an energetic leader and a great strategic thinker. We've worked together for four years and he is one of the hardest working individuals I have ever met. He has a great ability to see the big picture and lay out a plan to execute on that vision. It's been a pleasure working with him and I look forward to working with him on future endeavors.
Source: LinkedIn Mel Smith Mar 8, 2013Vak is what people would call a prime mover. Where others were simply content to pontificate about what the Los Angeles technology community needed to raise it to the next level, Vak walked out of the StartupLA conference and started TechZulu from scratch. His energy, his enthusiasm, his focus, and his determination are completely unmatched. A true treasure.
Source: LinkedIn Damon Young Mar 8, 2013Vak is very knowledgeable about the tech space. His social media expertise has brought others tremendous value on growth and marketing. Having watched him develop his company over the span of 1.5 years, I have seen tremendous growth in brand awareness and the number of followers on TechZulu.com. His network has expanded greatly throughout Southern California and his charismatic personality has brought him many friends.
Source: LinkedIn Albert Ko Mar 8, 2013From the time I met Vak to now he has always provided ultimate value and insight to profitable ways of doing business. He brings the experience and energy that only someone with a lot of passion for what they do, can have.
I have trusted Vak with multiple business consultations and we are now working on a venture together. I trust his judgment and appreciate his willingness to always help.
