OLAF PALEOS
"I had the pleasure of collaborating with Olaf for over 13 years at Thomson Reuters serving over 2,000 clients in the Trust and Estate industry. Olaf is a born leader and always brings a can do attitude to any and all projects. He is a highly motivated and dedicated individual. He led our sales teams to record revenue years while incorporating new services and businesses along the way. Olaf excels in analyzing the data and finding new and exciting ways to drive the business. In the most recent years Olaf added the Non-Resident Alien Taxation sales responsibility to his portfolio. He and his team did a fantastic job in turning around the sales and retention numbers for the product line offerings."
"Olaf and I have worked together for 20 years. Olaf is a true leader. He gives the people around him the guidance and confidence to do their best. I have grown the most for having worked under Olaf - both professionally and personally. He instilled in his team a sense of ownership, pride, and responsibility that resulted in high client retention rates and consistent goal achievement.
For the business, Olaf has the vision to make connections and create strategic relationships that others don't immediately see. He grew our organization from less than a million to over $11 million while always keeping an eye to his colleagues' and clients' success. Our retention rates showed his dedication to our clients and the products.
You will never meet someone more focused and dedicated than Olaf."

George Barnabic
Vice President and Operating Manager
"Driven is the word that first comes to mind when I think of Olaf. In the 14+ years he worked as our Director and Manager of Sales, his team never once missed their yearly sales goals. His dedication along with analytical and strategic thinking skills made him my most valuable asset. I could always count on him to give me sound advice. He was the kind of report that you could task with anything, and even if it was not one of his skill sets, he would find the right person to assist him. Always getting the job done, and get it done on time.
Every Friday Olaf would submit a sales report for the week. Now when I say every Friday I mean EVERY Friday. No matter if he was on vacation, no matter if it was a holiday, no matter if we were at a convention. No matter what, that sales report was done. For over 14 years he never missed one. Sometimes it wouldn't come until 11PM but it would come. It wasn't a company requirement or one of my requirements, it was his way of keeping his team focused, informed, motivated, and on task for the following week. It sure helped me know where we stood.
I'm not sure what else I can say except that if I wasn't happily retired, I would find a place for him in whatever organization I was with. I would have never been as successful as I was if I didn't have Olaf on my team."

"Olaf and I worked closely together for many years as part of the Thomson Reuters-WealthTec strategic partnership. Our collaboration was instrumental in ensuring that a corporate relationship beneficial to all parties, including mutual clients, continued in the face of headwinds and adversity. Olaf is a proactive manager and successful sales executive with natural problem solving ability. He is quite adept at conflict resolution in a business setting. I give Olaf my highest recommendation."
Steven Coraluzzi
Sales Manager
"I had the pleasure of working directly for Olaf for 12 of my 14 years with Thomson Reuters. I especially liked the way that Olaf managed the sales team, he would always keep me up to date on what was happening within the sales department and asked for opinions. It was nice to feel like management cared about me as an individual and thought my ideas were worth considering. Having Olaf as a manager has set the bar high for any future employers."
Gerald Urban
Sales Representative
"Olaf would be an extremely valuable asset to any organization he is a part of. He has a vision for how to build business and retain customers. His track record over the years proves this. As a strong leader, he was able to articulate his vision to the sales department, and across different departments to get results. I would highly recommend Olaf as a leader to any organization that wants to be successful."
Jaime Lee McHale
Sales Representative
"In the 12 years I worked under Olaf Paleos, I found him to be an incredible asset to our overall organization and also to my personal success as a sales representative. He was a fair and compassionate manager with a keen eye to both market fluctuations and internal challenges.
He provided his team with the individual guidance needed to allow them to excel. Because of his skills at statistical analysis and mentoring, we were able to consistently achieve and exceed our goals. He would be an excellent addition to any sales organization!"
"One of my company’s core values, which we reinforce nearly every week, is taking the initiative, taking ownership, and “WOW!” customer service. I have had the privilege of working with Olaf for more than 15 years through 2017. Throughout that time, Olaf has applied these skills in extraordinary ways. I have always been impressed by his capacity to communicate with clients, in person or electronically, cultivate relationships, gather insight, and then work collaboratively with in-house and external parties to develop innovation solutions. Then, he was at the forefront of educating clients why these solutions were of value, convincing them to adopt and/or purchase, and actively maintaining a relationship in order to nurture client loyalty. The ultimate result of these proactive, hard to find skills, is WOW! customer service, client retention, referrals, and consistent revenue growth."
