What Others Are Saying…

“Having observed George Sloan for much of his successful career, I am impressed, of course, by his marketing talent and growth, but very much by his tenacious spirit and passion for growing departments, divisions and companies. George has that rare ability to create, grow and manage, and that is an ability found in very few executives.”

“George was one of only about five thought leaders within a 3,000-employee global manufacturing company. While the company has others who could direct manufacturing or sales, George and a few others saw market opportunities and industry changes months and years ahead of other leaders in the company.”

Katherine M. Hudson
Corporate Director
Former CEO & President, Brady Corporation

“I have worked with George over the years as a colleague and as a business partner. It never, ever ceases to amaze me how quickly – and effectively – he can develop wickedly crazy ideas and then distill them into practical business strategies that are profitable and sustainable. He has one of those rare minds that not only can see the future, but can pull it into today – and make it work. “

Anne K. Broda
Former Business Partner & Colleague

“George can take credit for totally changing the way a $100 million division went to market. (He) was encouraged to think outside of the box and come up with new ideas. One was a semi-tractor trailer customized with a product showroom that toured the U.S. visiting distributors…That project led to a key partnership and built that sales channel from zero to tens of millions of dollars.”

Greg Jehlik
President & CEO, Maxcess International
(Former Vice President, Brady Corporation)

“At one point in time, George and I were on the operating management team of a $100 million unit of Brady Corporation. I saw first-hand the high level of energy and enthusiasm he brought to the job. More than that though is his creative ability – to innovate, to invent, to get ‘outside the box’ and to help shape a vision and business model to achieve it. His contributions helped that business grow over a 3 year period at a time the industry segment we sold into experienced double-digit decline. George is a team player who got results.”

Doug Knudtson

Scott Office Systems

“George consistently delivered excellent value-added outputs that reflect the experience, knowledge and wisdom he amassed in his multi-faceted career. It was fun and rewarding working with George.”

Robert Shockey
Marketing Director
John Henry Company

“I would highly recommend George for any situation that requires an innovative and high energy approach to growth. George has an inspirational and fun style of leadership. He combines that with an excellent expertise in marketing, especially marketing communications and e-business.”

Dan Johnson
Vice President, Corporate & Business Development
Brady Corporation

“George and I have worked together on many occasions. We worked at Brady Corporation on many projects; together we pursued entrepreneurial interests and as partners on other occasions. George is an energetic, innovative, hard working professional with seemingly endless energy and enthusiasm. He is a dedicated family man with a strong sense of values. I particularly enjoy working with George on marketing projects. His skills abound in the area of creative and persuasive writing. He has shared ideas and plans with me that have become successful campaigns for my organizations and clients. I value his friendship and his partnership on projects both professional and personal.”

Gene A. Wright
Lubar Executive MBA Director

“George is a unique combination of creativity, innovation, execution and energy. He’s passionate about new product development and about growing market share in every endeavor he’s been associated with. If my Marketing or Business Development Team was stalled, George would be my first call.”

David Winter
Chief Information Officer
Enercon Industries

“I’ve seen George work in many capacities: marketing executive, sales executive, school board president, boards of directors of associations and more. He has always brought a level of passion for the task at hand that is rare, and in each environment he raised the bar in terms of success, whether success was defined as new products, new sales channels, increased achievement of students, employees and colleagues.”

Gavin Quinnies
Managing Director, President
Quantum Group Consultants

“George is a seasoned professional. His skills are broad-based, supported by deep customer and industry knowledge, as well as empathy with customers. I’d welcome working with him again.”

Douglas Cunningham
Marketing Director
Clarion Safety Systems

“George knows how to make things happen on so many different levels. People that know him talk about his many achievements, which are impressive especially given some of the resources he’s had to work with. But what I think really makes George successful is his ability to establish and maintain strong relationships, and to make those who work for and with him better. I’ve seen it in his job and as the elected president of the school board in our community.”
