Jerry Weissman
Jerry Weissman, is an American executive presentation coach, and writer.

Education and Professional Career
Mr. Jerry Weissman founded Power Presentations, Ltd. in 1988. His private client list reads like a who's who of the world's best companies, including the top brass at Yahoo!, Intel, Cisco Systems, Microsoft, Bluecoat, Dolby Labs, Netflix, Electronic Arts, and many others.

One of his earliest efforts was the Cisco Systems IPO road show. Following its successful launch, Don Valentine, of Sequoia Capital, and then chairman of Cisco's Board of Directors, attributed "at least two or three dollars" of the offering price to Mr. Weissman's coaching. That endorsement led to more than 600 other IPO road show presentations that have raised hundreds of billions of dollars in the stock market.

Mr. Weissman's focus widened from coaching IPOs to include public and privately held companies. His techniques have helped another 600 plus firms develop and deliver their mission-critical business presentations.

As a prelude to Power Presentations, Mr. Weissman had an extensive career in television as a producer of public affairs programs, including three years at the Network for continuing Medical Education, and a decade at WCBS-TV, the flagship station of the CBS Television Network in New York.

In 1980, Pinnacle Books published Mr. Weissman's novel The Zodiac Killer

Mr. Weissman has a BA degree from New York University, and an MA in Speech and Drama from Stanford University.
