Manager, Communications and Marketing Operations, Paradigm
Direct reporting relationship
I’m grateful for the opportunity to recommend David Schreiber, whose leadership over the past three years has had an extraordinary impact on our team and on Paradigm as a whole. He embodies the rare balance of providing true autonomy while consistently offering thoughtful guidance and support whenever it’s needed. His leadership style empowers people to do their best work, encourages creative problem solving, and fosters an environment where new ideas are welcomed and elevated.
He is the type of leader you want on your team—one who understands business needs through a mission-driven lens and leads with humility, steady confidence, and zero ego. He has an exceptional ability to provide exactly the level of support his employees need: hands-on when guidance is essential, hands-off when autonomy empowers better outcomes, and always ready to step in with thoughtful direction whenever the moment calls for it. His leadership style creates trust, clarity, and the space for people to grow.
Under his direction, our team has made remarkable strides—most notably transitioning entire departments to new software platforms that have significantly increased efficiency and collaboration. These enhancements didn’t just modernize our workflows; they strengthened alignment and communication across the organization.
Our employee surveys have also shown steady, positive increases in engagement, communication, and overall culture. I can confidently say these improvements are a direct result of the ideas, initiatives, and implementations he has championed over the past three years.
One of his greatest strengths is his ability to bridge teams and disciplines. Whether partnering with Operations, Sales, HR, IT, Finance, or others, he approaches every discussion with curiosity, respect, and a genuine desire to understand challenges from all angles. Because of his broad expertise and approachable demeanor, he has become the go-to resource for questions spanning strategy, operations, technology, and beyond.
He is always willing to brainstorm, collaborate, and roll up his sleeves to find better, smarter, more innovative ways of doing things. His commitment to continuous improvement—not only in systems and processes but in developing people—is unmatched.
Working with David has been an exceptional experience, and his leadership has made a lasting positive impact on our team and organization. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a leader who inspires trust, drives progress, and brings out the best in everyone around him.
Sincerely,
Director of Events, Paradigm
Colleague
David and I worked closely together on a variety of event-related projects, and I can honestly say that in my 15+ years of event experience, he is one of my absolute favorites to collaborate with. He managed our event communications, helped create several event websites, and served as the onsite AV contact for multiple programs.
Not only does he approach every project with a thorough understanding of what’s needed, he consistently brings fresh ideas and thoughtful recommendations that help ensure every goal is met. No matter the task, he handles pressure and constant changes with grace, professionalism, and the agility required in the ever-moving world of events.
He is truly a master of his craft, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.
