Dmitriy Russov
I have worked with Marco for many years, in two companies. I really want to note his organized and structured approach to problem solving, attention to detail, commitment and responsibility. Thanks to his leadership qualities, Marco is able to take charge of any team and succeed in the most difficult conditions. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to work with Marco.
LinkedIn User
I collaborated with Marco for more than four years. I received support from his side, as the true inspirational leader he is, every time I needed it. It is always a pleasure to work with someone as committed and dedicated as Marco. He is constantly looking for the perfect balance in the teams that he manages, and he really cares for the people that report to him. I can just say that I highly recommend him for any management position, he has the experience to guide teams through difficult times, to foster communication and collaboration, as well as to teach and to share his vast knowledge with people who want to become leaders. He is one of those unique leaders that leave a trace on the teams they manage.
