the person

Testimonials

“Jon was my first mentor as a new executive doing TV and radio interviews on behalf of our Medicare business. To this day I remain grateful for the sage advice he provided and follow it every time I have an opportunity to represent UHC. His experience in media relations - both on-camera and off - ensures he has a balanced view of what it takes to make a positive impression for any business.”

—Christopher Abbott, Health Plan Chief Executive Officer at UnitedHealthcare

“Jon is a remarkably talented media professional. His strategic focus helped us navigate both the smooth sailing and the occasional choppy waters we encounter in the health care field. Jon also possesses a quick wit and sense of humor which he uses to effectively disarm the anxiety that occasionally arises during interactions with the media.”

—Terry Ketchersid, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer at Fresenius Medical Care

“I recently had the chance to work with Jon on the development of our new website and an array of communications strategies focused on increasing our academic program's visibility and value. He was an amazing leader in these projects, asking good and probing questions so he understood our needs, and then applying his strategies, knowledge of publicity, and connections. His work was extremely collaborative while also providing us with the tools we needed to continue after the initial project was complete. I would highly recommend Jon. Productive, team-focused, collegial, quality of work. It was a pleasure to work with Jon and we could not be more pleased with the results.”

—Janice Conway-Klaassen, Director, University of Minnesota Medical Laboratory Sciences

“I had the great pleasure to work with Jon on crafting a company narrative and message - as well as news releases and media engagement over the last couple of years. He is an outstanding partner, very knowledgeable, easy to work with and has a great sense of humor.”

—Angelo Moesslang, former Chief Executive Officer at InGeneron Inc.

“I had the honor of working with Jon on a video project that is very important to our company. We highlighted personal stories from patients who have benefited from our technology. Jon is so easy to work with, kind, and empathetic, which is exactly what we needed for the most sensitive stories we tell. Our patients felt comfortable almost immediately upon meeting Jon, and he led the interview portion of the videos with ease. There’s nothing more important to me to ensuring our patients are taken care of, and Jon did just that. He was also a fantastic communications partner in developing the story for our videos.”

—Heather Hildebrandt, Brand Strategist at Boston Scientific
