Traut Associates owned and built Gaikai's Talented Engineering Team from around the world...behind the scenes.  Gaikai was a blank canvas and S.A. Traut Associates was hired by the Founders to paint a masterpiece.

"Stuart Trautenberg was Raza Foundries' ace recruiter building several pre-IPO start-ups for us.  I recall that each start-up invited Stu to stay on as VP, Human Resources.  Stu once hired 66 new employees in 3.5 days. He saved Raza Foundries over $2 million in recruiting fees."

-Don Basile, current CEO of Violin Memory, former CEO of Fusion-io and former VP & Managing Director of Raza Foundries

"Stu, you have been awesome — as an incredibly productive recruiter, as a member of the team, and as a friend and confidante especially to our new hires. You have been instrumental in building the Cloud team to where it is today, and are continuing to perform exceptionally for the organization through this very day.  I, and many many of us here, are very sad to see you go — it is truly a loss, and you will very much be missed. Thank you sincerely,"
