“I've known David Shapiro since 2000 when he was at Deutsch and just building his social networking company, which has become not only lucrative but a substantial charitable achievement. David has continued to hone his stealth business skills and, in particular, marketing and operations. He has been consulting for companies on their social media strategies, website content and ranking, marketing plans and overall operations. When I was the Chairperson of three college departments I frequently consulted with David on how to grow these departments (128 PhD's), coming in under budget, using the latest business media techniques- not an easy venture for a Humanities Chair. David took the time to share with me business skills for marketing and cutting costs through new social media planning technologies. Because of David I was able to increase enrollment in our on-line course program and decrease costs from a previously stagnant approach. David helped me to come in under my marketing and recruiting budgets 2 years in a row. He is a pleasure to work with due to his creative, social and upbeat demeanor. Did I mention he did this all pro- bono as he is a strong advocate for improving the educational system?
