I have seen Bruce Himelstein in action as a client of mine, when he worked at Ritz-Carlton, and as a guest speaker to my students at Syracuse University. Aside from being a savvy and inspirational professional, Bruce is a natural storyteller. Bruce captivates his audiences. Most importantly, he captivates them with a purpose to reach heights of marketing they never dreamed possible.

“Bruce did a wonderful job presenting to the Executive Learning Network group at The Jack C. Massey College of Business at Belmont University. He’s personal, engaging, and shared examples the executive members can put to work in their own industries. The time was invaluable, and I’d have Bruce back to speak again. He’s easy to work with and wanted to make sure that he connected in a way that was meaningful for both the audience and program expectations. It was a homerun!”
