“I would recommend John Ziegler for any applications, SaaS, or marketing position, regardless if it is for direct application administration or supervision of other employees in those positions. When I worked with him, I first-hand saw that he has a keen eye for artistic detail but also keeps sight of the big picture, i.e. organizational goals and mission. He can seamlessly switch directions when required by management and performs well under pressure. He also understands the importance of data-driven decisions to guide marketing strategy. He is honest, hard-working, artistically-talented, and technically competent with web-based architecture and SaaS management. Please contact me if you have any further questions; I would be happy to discuss them at any time.”
