Financial advisor
“Nick Kosovich is one of the most remarkable, generous and gracious partners I have ever come across. He leverages his extraordinary network of dedicated friends and followers ito achieve extraordinary results. Nick’s assistance to AdMeTech Foundation’s Dance for a Cure has resulted in the most successful, large-scale private fundraising program in prostate cancer in Massachusetts. This program, thanks to Nick, has become instrumental in creating new partnerships and greater national visibility for prostate cancer. In my view, Nick is able to create success with any project he touches. Faina Shtern, MD, President, AdMeTech Foundation (www.admetech.org).”
