"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".

"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 liason between creative and sales and marketing departments."

"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".

“John is one of the most intelligent, dedicated, hardworking, and versatile people I have ever known. He has an amazing arsenal of skills and has demonstrated a quick aptitude for learning new concepts; He once asked me questions about Einstein’s theory of relativity that showed he had a deeper level of understanding than I, despite the fact that I had just taken college courses on this subject! Most importantly, though, John is someone upon whom you can depend.”

"John receives my highest praise... He takes an idea and runs with it, exploring the nuances and implications along the way. He can laser in on a project... re-doing work that doesn't meet his own high expectations."
