What he’s known for: Vast experience in the ins-and-outs (and ups-and-downs, and round-and-rounds) of relocation; having a global and strategic mindset; surprisingly awesome musicality; a level head, big heart and eerily-accurate gut.
Path that brought him to Plus: With more than 25 years in mobility under his belt, Joe has hands-on experience in sales, marketing, finance and business management . He worked in the mortgage industry and for several relocation management companies before being asked to join Plus to consult on the opening of our London office. He agreed because he knew Plus CEO Susan Benvides from Worldwide ERC® and was attracted to the Plus culture. After a few months as a consultant, he signed on full-bore when we realized how wicked-smart he is and he realized it meant he got to winter in Minnesota.
Accolades: ERC® Meritorious Service Award, four ERC® Distinguished Service Awards, ERC® Hall of Leaders.
Why people want to work with Joe: His ability to help each individual in various scenarios; his deep knowledge of the business; the sense of humor and charisma he brings to the room; he can take it as well as he can dish it out.
Favorite quote: “If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what you ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goeth
