Bio
Kim Nixon
Marc and I managed many difficult situations together. I found him to be a knowledgeable and calming presence. His wealth of experience was a true asset and I would highly recommend him.
Cathey Amberry
Marc, I'd like to recommend you for the seamless manner in which you have worked with companies when they found a need for a consultant in HR. From serving as the primary HR contact in a long term situation, to filling the HR management role for a hotel in acquisition transition, you've represented the companies well, and worked in their best interest. I look forward to working with you again in the future. Many kind regards- Cathey
