It's rare to meet someone like Marc Brady who combines diligence and hard work with a kind heart and listening ear. I had the pleasure of working with Marc for two years while at RxSolutions. I was particularly impressed by Marc's thoroughness in understanding the financial details of the business while also being able to interact with internal and external customers in a way that assured them of his knowledge without being condescending. He also frequently brought in donuts for the team, and who doesn't like donuts!? Marc would be a great addition to any team.
Steve Mason, MBA
I worked with Marc over 5 years during my start at Cherokee Sanford Group and then when General Shale purchased Cherokee. Marc is a strong financial analyst with solid business skills. Marc was a tremdous help to me anytime I needed counsel. He is objective and looks at opportunities or challenges from a broad perspective and across the various business disciplines. Marc is a consumate professional who is always most interested in what is good for the whole as opposed to an individual department, refreshing in toady's corporate world. Steve Mason
