Sizzling smart! Insightful! Passionate! Coach/Star Player all at once.
Rohit Shukla
Joel worked with me in developing commercialization assistance programs which we had planned and were awarded based on a specific set of concepts. He showed great foresight and intelligence in managing the program, and even sweated the details, vetting each such detail carefully to ensure maximum impact. Even though he was not a full-time staff member at Larta, he showed great pride in and care for the work of the organization as a whole, and remains a close friend and associate, someone we turn to often to help us with perspectives and counsel. He is all of the things one could ask for in a consultant, and all of the things one could ask for in a mentor, guide and philosopher: he is tenacious, caring, insightful, agile and thorough.
