Recommendations For Ram
President
Hofstra MBA/MS Marketing Association
“Excellence is the word that comes to my mind for Ram. He is focused, determined with an extra ordinary potential to excel in the digital media
world. He has killer capabilities to take project and deploy it successfully.
I have had opportunity to work with him during my MBA Program . The way he handled MBA/MS Marketing Association and introduced the
digital word within the association is far beyond excellence. He made everyone applaud for him for his great effort.
Passion is the most important seed that is needed for success for any venture and in any person. I have seen that seed growing with proper
nourishment in Ram and I am sure that he is going to be successful in his dream and ventures.
Good luck and wishes for Ram from my side. I strongly recommend Ram. Hire him and get growing.” May 7, 2012

1st Jennifer Hibbs, Interactive Account Director, Marden-Kane, Inc.
managed Ram at Marden-Kane, Inc.
“Ram's contributions to Marden-Kane can not be adequately described in words. During Ram's tenure, his can do and "roll up your sleeves"
attitude was instrumental in meeting aggressive client deadlines. His experience in market research, preparing decks, wireframing, and cross-
platform / cross-application user experience/quality assurance testing was an asset to our Digital Team. Ram is the consummate professional
and I highly recommend him!” May 24, 2012
1st Martin Glovin, Senior Vice President, Digital, Marden-Kane, Inc.
managed Ram indirectly at Marden-Kane, Inc.
“I met Ram earlier this year when he sought my guidance on a social media based charity fund raising project. He immediately stuck me as a
professional far beyond his years. Soon Ram joined me and my firm as a Summer Intern where he quickly exceeded our expectations as a
digital and social media marketing analyst. I am so impressed with Ram's natural ability to take problem set, independently define it and come
up with insightful solution options. Ram is not bashful to ask for advice but also to come up with his own solutions and defend his conclusions.
Ram is also very open to advice and applying his learning to current and new marketing scenarios. As a digital native, Ram is well skilled in
applying today's business and consumer technologies and using a "process approach" to marketing business needs. He is adaptable - making
adjustments and improvements in rapid order. Qualities include: Diligence, Inquisitiveness, Good Communicator, Collaborative. I highly
recommend Ram to firm's looking for an "up-and-comer" and team player.” October 2, 2011

managed Ram at Marden-Kane, Inc.
Communications Chairman
Hofstra Business Consulting Group
“I had the great opportunity to know Rramakrishnan throughout the 2nd year of my tenure as an MBA candidate at the Frank G. Zarb school of
business. He has always struck me as one who has fervent and unequivocal desires to better the world. Already being active in such
organizations such as the Zarb Corporate Social Responsibility Association and especially the Hofstra Business Consulting Group (HbCG), he
has undergone such a transformation that parallels the strong social values and ethical tones of the very prestigious Frank G. Zarb School of
Business. 'Growth' is the word to describe his passion towards strategic marketing, project management, and the understanding of the ethical
imperative. All of these facets, while impressive, are minuscule to his commitment to scholarship, hard work, and love of learning. As part of the
HBCG he's clearly demonstrated great leadership by joining some of our most pressing initiatives and consulting projects. His thirst for
knowledge can be matched only be his strong desire to continuously add value in whatever endeavor he so decides to pursue. It is for this
reason that I fully recommend Ramakrishnan Kumar.” March 11, 2011

tremendous efforts to reach where he wants. I wish him success and a great career ahead.” March 3, 2011
