“Scott Gelber is a freak of nature. “𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘥?” you ask, hoping the distant, dampened muttering cuts through the deafening static of the Monday morning flash grenade before that first cup of coffee brings life into focus. His response comes—clean and crisp—out of nowhere: “I got certified in inbound marketing.” What? He answered you in English (that’s what it sounded like, anyway), but his words make no sense. With his 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘥? But weekends are for binge-watching 𝘈𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 on Netflix and going apple picking upstate (so your SO has something to brag about on Instagram). Turns out, Scott is what’s known as a “consummate professional”; a student of the Japanese business philosophy of 𝘬𝘢𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯 (改善), meaning “good change” or “continuous improvement”. He’s made a commitment to his craft that many preach, yet few truly practice. Serving under him in my role at Diligent gave me a front-row seat at the height of his potential. It was a long way down but the view was spectacular. Scott holds himself to standards most only aspire to achieve. His unrelenting self-discipline paid dividends to both the company and our team, constantly giving me a reason to think “𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵”. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg shared his principle hiring philosophy in a Q&A at Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress: "I will only hire someone to work directly for me if I would work for that person…”. I dare to take this framework a step further in saying Scott Gelber tops the list of those I’d call to do a job I couldn’t trust myself to complete. He’s determined, dependable, and demonstrates a kindness I don’t always deserve. For these reasons, among others, he earns my highest possible endorsement.”
