“Adriana was the recruiter that helped me land my job at Stryker. Her guidance and support during the hiring process was invaluable. She knew what her client (Stryker) wanted and she helped me realize I was a great fit for that position. A win-win for Stryker and for me. She's got a great sense of humor that helps candidates (and hiring managers) navigate the highs and lows of the process. Her experience is invaluable and I'd use her in a heartbeat to fill critical positions on my team.” June 12, 2009

“Michael Terlaak is one of the best connected and most accessible professionals in the nanotechnology field. When I started writing my book "Nanoinnovation: What Every Manager Needs to Know" (published by Wiley in May 2010), Michael enthusiastically shared his insights and was invaluable in helping me obtain information for my book, and connect with members of his extensive network of contacts/colleagues. The Nanotechnology Research Foundation which he founded and directs, is engaged in a wide variety of highly worthwhile activities that are helping to push nanoinnovation forward, in education, government, industrial activities and more. I highly recommend Michael Terlaak and his organization, and would value him as a partner in any endeavor, based on his professionalism, enthusiasm and integrity.” August 10, 2009

“In just one year, Michael Terlaak led the Nanotechnology Research Foundation (NRF) he co-founded in July 2008 from an unknown nonprofit group to an organization that has attracted over 700 energized volunteers and earned the admiration of industry and academic leaders. Under Michael’s focused direction, the NRF achieved 501(c)(3) status in record time, established an innovative scholarship/fundraising program, and laid the foundation for an educational mobile science lab (“The Nano Bus Tour”) that will deliver a stimulating hands-on science program to traditionally disadvantaged K – 12 students and teachers at their schools. Volunteers are attracted to the NRF by Michael’s infectious enthusiasm for advancing America’s leadership role in science and technology and retained because he regularly, and publicly, expresses his appreciation for their efforts. It is a pleasure to be working with him and to have the good fortune to participate in the implementation of his vision for science in America.”
