Bio
Rebekah Pyatt
I have had the pleasure of working with Marcus twice at different companies over the years. In both capacities he was my Manager, as such we interacted frequently on customer accounts and new business opportunities, pipeline reviews etc. Due to his abundance of skill and experience in the NHS, his support and advice was a great help and I definitely view him as my permanent career mentor! I learnt so much during my time with him that ultimately helped me with my growth as a sales professional. He was always well respected by his peers and those working for him in his team due to his openness and honesty. I would highly recommend Marcus to any Company and I would gladly welcome the opportunity to work with Marcus in the future.

Marcus is an absolute pleasure to work for! Although we had quite different experience and expertise, he was always keen to listen and learn about the scientific factors of the DNA product/service we were delivering, whilst trusting me to get on and deliver according to goals and targets that we set together. He also taught me a lot about the commercial world, and about customer and user experience. He gave support and guidance, and always pushed for us to be able focus on and achieve what we set out to do. He created a very positive work environment where I was excited to come to work every day and be engaged. I would highly recommend Marcus for leadership roles.

I've known Marcus for a number of years and worked with him on various projects and implementations. He is an extremely driven professional and understands the fast evolving Healthcare economy, where his technology trend predictions are valuable in making sure solutions can adapt to change. Plus, he's a great guy!
