“I worked for John for six years in the marketing department of Siemens Hearing Instruments in Piscataway, NJ. As an art director, he shows an even-handed approach to his artists. He respects personal needs and facilitates to the limit of his resources. Unafraid of responsibility, he shows a clear vision of projects from their scope down to their finer details. His direction is clear and concise.”

AFFILIATION: Dan reported directly to John Croce in Lieb's previous role as Technical Illustrator at Siemens Hearing Instruments
“John is one of the most effective managers I’ve ever worked with. He really excels at inspiring and motivating the creative people who report to him, while giving them clear direction, making it easier for them to find truly successful solutions. He is flexible and quite driven to stay sharp and up-to-date on the most current trends and technologies. His easy-going demeanor belies a wealth of knowledge and wide range of skills which make him indispensable as a creative director, marketing professional, and liaison between creative and sales and marketing departments.”
“John has his finger on the pulse of what's relevant and current, speaking both creatively and managerially. In addition to handling the day-to-day responsibilities of managing a department, he is not afraid to jump in and get his hands dirty to get the job done. He brings fresh ideas and a unique ability to foster the talents of those who work on his team.”
“I was impressed with John’s exceptional, multiple professional skill sets... I truly miss the opportunity for professional development and friendly work atmosphere that I experienced reporting to John Croce.
“John Croce was the best boss I ever had. He promoted a work environment which allowed his employees to achieve their best, both artistically and professionally.”
