Bio
Aaron Gorsky
An effective leader has many attributes that make that person successful. Many of them are attributes that have been developed over the years whether it be thru education or experience. There are also some attributes that cannot be trained. These are attributes that are intrinsic to a person's character and aptitude. I hired Mina as a Project Manager unaware at the time of his true potential. It only took weeks to realize that Mina was under hired. He took on tasks outside of his job description and responded to events as a true leader. In very little time I came to rely on Mina and trust his insight on business matters. When I left the company we were from I did so knowing that they would be in good hands with Mina. It is my sincere hope that my time working with Mina is not over and in the future, we will collaborate again. I am excited to see how far he progresses in his career and how he is able to shape the direction of the companies he is involved in.

Few people get the opportunity to work alongside someone who also serves as a mentor. Not only would Mina come in ready to deliver results but he also has a charisma that encourages the rest of the team on board as well. His ability to take lead and drive solutions while providing guidance and patience makes him stand out from the rest. It's not often you come across someone who is both "straight to business" and liked by everyone in the office like Mina. Mina takes initiative to bring ideas forth and provide solutions and direction that encourage scalability and efficiency in the workplace. From building procedures, delegating tasks, leading conferences, and enforcing milestones and deadlines Mina approaches his work with timeliness, dedication, and organization. Those who've worked alongside Mina understand the value he brings and the potential he has for success everywhere he goes.
