“Zac is one of a kind in the workplace. He excels in many distinctive ways and his skills set allows him to efficiently accomplish every goal established. His incredible interpersonal skills and understanding of the big picture down to the smallest detail on an operational process allow Zac to adapt his speech and strategy to the team he is working with. Zac has true leadership skills. He leads warehouse teams doing labor, as well as office sales and operations teams, and also plays a key role in the company’s executive/leadership team.

Zac brings a variety of attributes to the organization. His performance is always far and above average compared to other employees. He is always planning ahead of time, communicating the set strategies effectively, and is always looking for improvements for the growth and collective benefit of the company.

…Zac is also a key player in the company’s technological development, always directing his efforts and focus on internal processes optimization. He excels at client prospecting, closing much more deals than employees whose sole job is [to] close deals. On top of all this, Zac still makes time to train and inspire other employees sharing the benefits of his tenacity and methodical goal driven working methodology.

In short, Zac is the most distinguished employee in any of the areas he’s leading or involved…It’s truly inspiring and rewarding to work with Zac.”

“No one is ever defined by one attribute, but in Zac’s case he brings so many facets to the table, and each one is at a very high level…In spite of his mastery and confidence, I have never witnessed an arrogance factor or an ‘us vs. them’ mindset. His approach is always seen as ‘we’ to get the mission accomplished. Zac consistently operates in an inclusive style with a team building philosophy that brings a sense of balance to the organization.”

“In addition to my professional growth, Zac has been a source of emotional support which is very vital for someone in a management position, a position which can be very mentally draining…Whether that was someone to bounce ideas off of, listen to me vent, or tell me ‘I got this…’ Zac finds the time to give me input on my scripts and emails, send an unexpected encouraging email, or just call and ask how I’m doing in general. In times where I need correction I still felt encouraged by Zac to take it on the chin, learn, and grow from it.”

“The kind of growth and character building that I have seen in Mr. Fratkin is nothing short of astonishing…In fact I would dare say there is very little I have seen from Zac that I would not call astonishing. His knowledge of UCB’s systems, processes, tech, and methods is unquestionable. His advice and mentorship is invaluable. His intellect is irreproachable. He has been at times a stern principle, a wise teacher, a friend, and when appropriate a pain in the neck. I’m a better person for knowing Zac and UCB is a better company for having him.”

“When it comes to communicating ANYTHING, Zac is clear, precise and prudent. Clear as in his messages are easy and well structured. Precise because the words and expression used are chosen to reflect the exact situations and describe all parameters. Finally, prudent because usually free of tricky assumptions that could lead to misunderstandings. I find it particularly useful during meetings, where Zac often reframe conversations, so we don’t ‘divert’ off subject. To me particularly, as a non-native English speaker, he allows me to realize that I sometimes am not clear enough when I explain something.”

“While Zac is an excellent sales person, that is not his only focus. He’s always striving to grow the company and make for a better work environment. Whether he do that through sales, operations or by bettering our technology, he is willing and able to combat any obstacles that may be hindering our progress as a company. Zac routinely pushes initiatives to streamline how people work so that everyone can work more quickly and efficiently.”

“[Zac] has always shown a willingness to provide me with guidance and assistance whenever the need has arisen. He has been a mentor, friend and never has he told me he doesn’t have time to assist me with any problem I have needed help with. Zac has been overly generous with his time and expertise. He has an impressive portfolio of professional accomplishments. Focusing in on problems on his own initiative, providing solutions for those problems with ease and without disrupting the flow of business. He has been a creative problem-solver with ambition and a tireless work ethic, he has solved a lot of problems for this organization. He has a willingness to do whatever it takes to make this company the best it can be. His total commitment has helped the company expand sales to many large companies.”

“[Zac’s] passion for the company to succeed, to improve the ease of doing business with UCB and the improvement of the internal tools that each of us use daily is astounding. His knowledge of the internal operations from warehouse, through management and to the customer is evidence that he has done every job and excelled at them. While working with Zac daily, he helped me understand what is needed from me to improve the ability for UCB to grow and become even more successful heading into the future. It was a pleasure working with him on the integration between [our system] and [external vendor system] and helping trouble-shoot that process…Zac is a huge asset to this organization. He has an abundance of knowledge to help us achieve our goals.”

“[Zac] has the drive and can-do attitude to manifest greatness! He is a team player to the point of ‘work family,’ and a team leader to the point of constant praise from our CEO. I know that the tools and technology he has helped implement has helped me get more quotes out, which has helped me close more deals than last year and the year before. Obviously, this means more money for the company, and some more $ for my wallet too. I know he has helped many other people at UCB in various/numerous ways. Many.”

“I am continually impressed with Zac as a leader, I look up to him as a role model. He explains each topic in great detail and makes sure that I fully understand the material presented to me. Zac is quick to acknowledge the staff’s hard work and always has a positive attitude. Zac possesses a vast knowledge of every department from warehouse to sales and don’t forget all UCB policies and procedures…I believe that Zac is instrumental in the success of UCB and continues to improve our software to contribute to more success. I have never worked with someone who carries so much more responsibility and still enjoys coming to work every day.”
