Sandy Bielawa
Ross Homer is an exceptional PR practitioner. He is smart and understands how to create the best angles for every story, and his communication skills allow him to convey this understanding in a way that nets outstanding coverage. In addition to being highly conscientious and hard-working, he also has a great personality, which helps him form the tight connections upon which great media relations depends. I'm so glad I had the privilege of having him on my team, and would hire him again in a heartbeat.

I had the privilege of working with Ross at QuantiaMD, where he directed all of our public relations efforts. In addition to his impeccable writing skills, showcased in the copious press releases and articles he wrote on behalf of QuantiaMD, Ross's management and relationship-building skills truly set him apart. These skills were apparent as he simultaneously oversaw our PR agency relationship, worked with myriad new QuantiaMD partners on releases, and skillfully interacted with our executive management team on corporate messaging. Sitting next to him on a daily basis, I particularly noted his careful nurturing of numerous key press relationships, which yielded prime placement in national and industry publications over and over again. Ross's outstanding skills, collaborative nature, and insight and knowledge of the healthcare industry made it a true pleasure working with him.
