Bio
Roberta Gleicher
I had the pleasure of working with John for 12 years while he was with Purina Mills. He is a hard-working, creative, and levelheaded marketing leader. John showed his outstanding marketing skills and vision when he revamped many of Purina’s mature product lines. He has an uncanny ability to thoroughly understand and address the needs of animal owners, sales teams, and dealers. He created comprehensive, innovative programs that generated remarkable results. I highly recommend John.

I was very fortunate to have John Zeloski join our team. He brought to his role a true "marketer's sense". John added high value to strategic and planning efforts, but was equally able to lead a very broad set of marketing and communication functions including field marketing, promotions, industry events and shows, brand standards, budgeting, project management and more. He is decisive and deft. He develops an understanding of customers as well as organizational dynamics. He quickly develops productive and friendly relationships across the company including with key field roles. He is respected for his ability to "get it done" by many with whom he works. A company or team who has John Zeloski has a strong contributor to marketing success.
