“I have been in close contact with Bernie for over 20 years. We commenced working together on a “Pay as you Use” telephony system that Philips Home Services was developing. This was an innovative product at that time, and Bernie was responsible for this program. Bernie has the vision to sense an innovative product and to build a complete business plan around it. His marketing abilities are remarkable. Bernie has been utilizing his creativity to form unusual marketing plans, and he has the ability to inspire potential customers when he presents his ideas. Bernie has been spending vast time abroad (living and business traveling) while building up a sound commercial network that helps him to develop and expand various opportunities globally.”
"Bernie Wolff has the rare ability to build effective bridges for Israeli start ups to targets markets in Europe and the US. He understands local markets needs and establishes trust with business development targets and achieve good results."
“When we established our company in 2008 as a digital signage provider, Bernie was Senior Vice President, Business Development, with YCD Multimedia. As a start-up, we absorbed all of his professional and marketing insights which resulted in significant growth of the company. For day-to-day challenges, internally and customer related, it was Bernie’s positive attitude and mentoring that turned our strategy into achievable goals. We look back to this period with great pleasure”.
“Bernie is a great business partner. He knows how to position his business and detect the potential synergies. His reliability and determination is great and clearly encourages us to share even more opportunities and activities. I look forward to more collaboration with Bernie”.
“I have known Bernie for over 30 years and done business with him on many different occasions during that time, as partners and as colleagues. At Philips he was ambitious, resourceful and focused on growing his business into more than 20 countries. In addition to his professionalism he achieved this with healthy doses of fun, which makes working with him most enjoyable. In my recent dealings with Bernie as a business partner, I see that he has lost none of those qualities. He is one of those people who always achieves his goals when he sets his mind on it”.
“Bernie is a consummate professional whose unmatched experience in global business development was, to my understanding, absolutely pivotal to the successful growth of YCD. He worked closely with the founders in strategic planning, and in successful funding. Bernie is one of a handful of people that I know with the depth of experience in North American and European markets needed to chart today's business environment, and the skills to apply to almost any business. His passion and vision were invaluable in our work together. He is truly a pleasure to work with. He is highly respected in the boardroom, by co-workers, by customers, and by business associates. His ethics are of the highest level.
Bottom line, I would trust my business to Bernie, hope that we'll have a chance to work together again, and recommend him without qualification”.
“I had the pleasure of working with Bernie on a number of Digital Media projects. Bernie always fully understands the client's drive and objectives, and is fully flexible to work with their ever developing needs. I would recommend working with Bernie if you are looking for an approachable figure to deliver a service or proposition”.
“Bernie worked with YCD as a Senior VP Business Development between April 2002 and October 2012. In his position as SVP Business Development, Bernie was responsible for handling direct International accounts as well as channel accounts in Europe, USA and ROW. Bernie was instrumental in establishing and maintaining strategic alliance and partnerships with various technology vendors. He also helped to raise investment capital for the company through his personal contacts with private equity investors. Bernie has always maintained a high level of work ethic, commitment, dedication, persistence, professionalism and responsibility in his work. I highly recommend Bernie for any similar Business Development activities and believe his dedication and commitment can be of great value to start-up companies”.
