TESTIMONIALS
What Partners Say
Bret Sweet has always been an outstanding leader. Nothing could prepare me for the wealth of knowledge that was available to me during my time as his assistant during his time as the Director of the Digital Media programs. His encouragement to ask questions, challenge traditional thinking, and always think 10 steps ahead made working with him a growth filled and joyous experience. It is due to his insistence on keeping a positive attitude during even the rough moments that helped me move forward professionally and I’m all the better for it.
Bret is a strategic, creative thinker who is often lightyears ahead in generating new ideas while connecting future-oriented thoughts with present-oriented action. With a history growing up in the heart of the civil rights movement, Bret is a mission-driven leader and applies his values in lifting up everyone around him. I admire the deep connection, relationships, trust and mutual respect that he generates with emerging entrepreneurs, building individual and community power across the Bay Area.
As a professional and as a person, Bret Sweet operates from his Purpose by using his gifts, resources, experiences, and network to help people, communities, institutions, and businesses evolve for the better in all capacities. Mr. Sweet brings a myriad of end to end skill sets and experience to the table which he effectively and systematically utilizes to address strategic and operational concerns necessary to achieve efficiency, productivity, sustainability, accountability, and equity for enterprises of all sizes. One thing I admire about Mr. Sweet is that he is not afraid to learn, or to fail, or to ask questions – he is constantly evolving, staying current, and pushing himself. As the CEO of CoBiz, I appreciate his shared vision and contribution to the ecosystem of excellence we are building here in Richmond, CA.
Bret is one of those rare individuals who combine a passion for helping others – especially budding entrepreneurs – and getting things done. We worked together to create entrepreneurship programs while managing changing, different – and at times conflicting – priorities. His ability to stay focused, and to help others (including me) to stay the course was critical. I’d will always welcome the opportunity to work with Bret again.
