“During my tenure as President & CEO of Steuben Glass, Scott Avidon was by far the most effective marketing executive in terms of problem solving, creativity and innovative thinking. He was a team player. Everyone on our New York City staff and at our plant in Corning respected him as a person and admired his work.”

“While COO at Russ Berrie, I had the opportunity to get to know Scott Avidon on both professional and personal levels. I saw how Scott successfully managed the different departments he oversaw with integrity, fairness, clarity and a great ability to delegate without losing control or authority. Scott is one of the rare individuals that can transition seamlessly through all aspects of an organization. His communication and interpersonal skills are outstanding and his dual degrees in both business and design really made him invaluable. These are skills and areas of expertise that truly set Scott apart from everyone else. The importance of integrity and honesty is vital especially in today’s business world. Scott demands the highest levels of integrity and honesty from himself. I enjoyed working with Scott and would welcome the opportunity to do so again in the future.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Scott on several projects during his tenure at Steuben and Rosenthal. We kept a close and productive design relationship that I believe produced work of the highest caliber. Professional design practice, for both product or architecture, is complex and requires diligence from both client and designer, Scott exhibits these skills with his attention to detail and guiding vision.”

“As President of a company that focuses on helping charitable organizations I have seen many dedicated and selfless people devote much of themselves to great causes. Scott Avidon has proven year after year that he walks the talk and gives freely of his time and energy to help raise awareness and much needed resources to eradicate Lyme disease. Scott is also a very humble and sincere person, who puts the organization first and leaves his ego at the door.”
