Bio
Tracy Neal Butzlaff
Tom is truly special and would be an asset to any team. I had the privilege to lead Tom at Vital Proteins when he transitioned his career into sales. Tom's passion, eagerness and curiosity to learn set him apart from day one. This energy and enthusiasm for growth didn't waver with time. Tom continued asking the questions, fostering strong connections both internally and externally and diving into the layers of the business to build mutually beneficial growth strategies for both parties. Above all, what I admire about Tom is his ability to bring the team together. He was passionate about the culture of our team and it showed in each team meeting. I'm excited to see the impact Tom will continue to make in future roles.

I had the privilege to lead Tom at Vital Proteins for 2.5 years, a time when I witnessed an immense amount of personal and professional growth. If your organization is seeking a motivated impact player committed to exceeding expectations while fostering a healthy workplace, meet Tom. As one of his managers at Vital, I personally was grateful for and inspired by Tom's: Reliability // Whether executing it himself or resourcefully seeking support from his colleagues, Tom gets it done. And he doesn't just check the box. His work often exceeds expectations and is submitted ahead of deadlines. Dedication to Professional Growth // Tom began his professional path at Vital in a Customer Experience role. During his repeated promotions, he continually honed his public speaking skills, account management acumen and ability to multitask. Colleague Collaboration // Regardless if you're a team member or cross-functional partner, Tom will actively seek out and cultivate a relationship with you. People are drawn to his penchant for collaboration and positivity, making him incredibly successful in moving his, and the, business forward. Commitment to Culture // Whether it's helping a colleague navigate a new sales platform, or setting up an after-work happy hour, Tom is often the first to raise his hand to help. He knows every single employee is responsible for creating a healthy workplace, and is a masterclass role model for how to do it. As I mentioned, if your organization is seeking a motivated impact player committed to exceeding expectations while fostering a healthy workplace, I can't recommend Tom highly enough.

Dietetic Intern

Aug 2013 - May 2014
This was a 41 week internship and is medical nutrition therapy focused. Rotations include 15 weeks of clinical nutrition, 8 weeks of food service and management, and 9 weeks community, and 6 weeks specialized clinical nutrition. Special rotations included renal nutrition, enteral and parenteral nutrition, and a pediatric rotation at Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Memorial Hospital. Each rotation is built on prior knowledge and aims to complete the rotation with a new understanding of specific disease states, organizational skills, and project management. This internship also featured a research project led by me on spinal cord injury patients and determining ideal body weight associated with increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome. I plan to take the registered dietitian certification exam Summer of 2014. Show less
