Startup Collaboration

I worked with Jack Surrette for almost 25 years and have consulted with him on several projects. Under his leadership at Hawaiian Tropic, we were able to create many highly profitable export ventures. He has pragmatically nurtured start –ups and successfully managed growing, complex midsize businesses where every project counts. Jack has a superior ability for identifying unique customer needs, working the talent within an organization to get product developed and delivered profitably. A very talented, smart, dedicated leader – any company would be lucky to have him to bring them to the next level of success.

Surrette Associates has helped me market my practice since its inception. Jack has been the perfect catalyst to make the Sam Masters Legal brand more broadly known in the region. In the legal profession, it’s not as simple as an advertising plan. His broad marketing experience and cutting edge ideas allowed me to hit the ground running. I owe the success of my promotional exposure to Surrette Associates.

I met Jack Surrette decades ago under adverse conditions, he was a competitor. I was so impressed that I asked him to join my business. He was still in college but he had a clear view of excellent selling technique and the energy that helped build my company. Eventually he was hired away from us to work for our supplier. He climbed the ladder there very quickly because he learns so fast, had the strength of character to take command of his responsibilities, and the  brains to expand on those responsibilities. He became the top leader of that company. He had great success in that role until the company was sold.

Jack and I have been business associates for several years.  His marketing expertise and entrepreneurial spirit shine through on every project.  Jack is certainly among a very small group of people whose judgment and opinion I trust, and whose advice I'm always comfortable to seek when it comes to business.

I worked with Jack Surrette on a project for two years. From the very beginning, he did a thorough job of researching the issues and presented them for discussion in a clear and concise manner.  He worked diligently throughout the project, and was well organized.  He was always accessible for help when needed. He is honest and reliable, and has the highest integrity.   He is also a pleasure to work with.
