Director, International Business Center, Automation Alley
“I have had the pleasure of working with Dan Grajek since joining the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) in 2001. I, along with my work colleagues, can attest to how conscientious, professional and results driven he is in every project that he leads. Dan’s interpersonal skills and extremely friendly manner has allowed him to make tremendous contributions to meeting and exceeding the goals and objectives of the SME. In addition, his design and graphic abilities are exceptionally creative and have enabled our organization to be better promote and market our tradeshows, conferences and other events to their intended audiences.
In addition, Dan is always very responsive to customer needs and is held in the highest by both our clients and coworkers. He is quick to volunteer his assistance to make sure that project deadlines are met. This is just one of the many reasons why he was nominated SME Employee of the Month by his peers.
If you have any questions regarding Dan’s qualifications, please call me at 248/649-3464 or email me at nevshehir@comcast.net.”

“I’ve worked with Dan Grajek on a number of direct mail projects and have found him to be not just creative, but intuitive about what’s best for the piece. I could count on him to seek ways to “add value” to a project, and complete it on time.”

“I have worked with Dan for a relatively short period of time, however, during our professional relationship Dan has demonstrated great skill not only technically, as a graphic artist, but cognitively with helping in sales, marketing and membership. I have confidence that Dan will benefit from this change in his career and be a valuable asset to any employer of mutual choice. I would be more than happy to give a personal reference at any time”
Terry Begnoche,
Community Relations Manager
“When Dan and I worked together in the booth at tradeshows, I observed Dan demonstrate strong interpersonal skills. Dan has an insatiable hunger for learning, particularly on the conceptual, philosophical level. In his conversations with manufacturing engineers, and in his marketing efforts for books and videos on lean manufacturing, Dan has shown he has a firm grasp of abstract ‘big picture’ concepts. Dan seemed to develop excellent rapport with attendees at events we attended together. Dan's ability to actively listen and demonstrate genuine interest in conversations helps him to rapidly develop contexts for relationships. Dan is a thoughtful and considerate person and it was a pleasure to work with him.”
