Unsolicited Testimonials
These notes are from individuals who I have come across from different walks of life. They attest to my credentials as a business executive and as a person. Incidentally, they came in as unsolicited testimonials to my LinkedIn page.
Dr. Will Worrell, Owner/Director Columbia Chiropractic Center
Dr. Gaetan is a person I have come to know quite well over the past 10 plus years. He has an incredible intellect and is as talented, gifted and passionate a human being as you will ever know. In addition, Manny is one of the most thoughtful people one could ever meet, with a stellar reputation.
Ensor Rodriguez, M.D., Ph.D., Behaviorist and Health & Safety Business Executive.
I know Manuel since he first showed talent for photography, back in our High School years, and have followed his remarkable careers as Professional Engineer, Company Senior Executive, and eventually Teacher, passing on his knowledge to able students. His career accomplishments are an inspiration to all who aspire to succeed and evidence that an important concept of Plato’s Academy did not die with the ancient Greeks. “The eye,” Plato understood, “is unusual among the sense organs in that it needs light in order to function.” Manuel’s extraordinary vision and clever use of light - physical and divine - has allowed him to create and share beautiful images of life, career, and relationships.

Warren Hartenstine - International Fashion Technology and Training Executive.
I have known Manuel Gaetan well in several prominent rolls. I participated as an exhibitor in the Bobbin Show, managed by the organization headed by Manny, beginning in 1978 and later, as President of Herbert Kannegiesser Corp. and Kannegiesser USA, participated as both exhibitor and member of the exhibition's advisory group. Further, Manny and I were co-members of the Apparel Research Committee of what is now the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA). In short, I have known Manny well as a professional and as a fellow sojourner in the exploration of industry-leading technology and management concepts. Manny's standing in the fashion community is without parallel. He is universally liked and respected for the breadth of his experience. There is no other person who can offer the same, comprehensive perspective after a successful career in manufacturing engineering with a major brand augmented by another successful dual career as publisher of the industry's leading magazine and organizer of the industry's largest technology exhibition. It has been quite amazing! I will be happy to discuss Manny Gaetan at any time.
Gene Levine, CEO - Gene Levine Associates
I worked with Dr. Gaetan as we helped the sewn products industry improve its rightful standing among other, more visible industries. He possesses outstanding management abilities and couples it to his highly professional photographic skills. He tirelessly produced commanding graphic images and verbal productions that allowed well attended conference attendees to better understand the various positive impacts our industry gave to the global economy.

Wilma King, Lecturer in Organizational Communication & Public Relations at Longwood University
I had the great fortune to learn from Manuel's leadership in my first job after graduating from College. I worked directly for La Bobina at one point in the four years with the company as advertising manager, and also worked with him to market the organization's seminars and management workshops. Manuel is a very respectable individual, willing to go above and beyond, and is a person of uncompromising integrity. I was able to, after so many years ago, call Manuel and seek his guidance and advice on a project that I was doing in Italy -- and wouldn't you know it -- he came through! Above all of the things that I regard about Manuel is his talent as a photographer. He, in fact, produced the only photograph of myself that I can say that I truly Love. Manuel Gaetan is a top-tier act.
Mark Wallisa, CMP Director of Sales at Hollywood Casino
I have known Manny since 1994, and worked with him in senior management for Blenheim Group for 4 years. He is a highly intelligent and extremely articulate executive with a significant track record of success and accomplishments. He has outstanding leadership and management skills, and his integrity and character are superb. I would highly recommend Manny to any organization, large or small, public or private.
