"As Global Creative Director at TBWA/Chiat/Day, I had the pleasure of having Patricia as my key client at Cablevision. She spearheaded the development of new technologies and excited our agency and myself as much by her leadership as by her products' potential.  She is truly a forward-thinking business leader, equipped with the vision and the ability to develop products and services and, equally important, able to energize her partners in their mutual efforts."

Ann Carlsen, Founder & CEO, Carlsen Resources

"Worked with Patricia on VOD initiatives and found her to be extremely well-versed in both the business and product aspects of the interactive space. She was creative and flexible in her approach to working together, and eager to try new things to drive the products forward. Would be happy to work with her again in future roles."
Richard Trumble, Executive Director, Strategy & Operations, The Wall Street Journal Digital Network

"Patricia Gottesman is one of the best marketers I have ever worked with in my 20 years as CEO of Kirshenbaun bond. She is amazingly well-rounded and has both sides of the brain working, which is critical in today's environment. Creative thinking doesn't usually reside in the same head as accountability. Great people skills usually do not co-exist with a knack for getting things done. She is a new age leader capable of taking companies to the future with the reassuring grounding of the pragmatist. In case I forgot to mention it, she is also fun to work with."
Jon Bond, CEO, KBP

"As a long-time marketing and operations executive, I've always had enormous respect and admiration for Cablevision's innovative business and marketing strategies.  For many years, Patricia was the principal architect of many of Cablevision's business-building initiatives.  Recently, I had the pleasure of working directly with Patricia as a consultant to our business. Patricia immediately added value to our thinking and our plans.  Her insights on market segmentation and pricing led us to rethink a variety of our business plans.  Only an extraordinary talent like Patricia could sift through reams of data to arrive at practical, actionable recommendations.  And with it all, Patricia is simply a joy to work with."
