Bio
Ann Marie Chawke
I had the opportunity to work with Martin for almost 18 months, we worked on the same team and Martin took me under his wing to train me as I started my new role. Martin is an extremely patient and kind person. Martin is very detail oriented, highly organized, and extremely focused on true relationship management in parallel to maintaining the highest levels of customer satisfaction. He doesn’t hesitate to ask critical questions; he is a creative thinker who possesses a can-do attitude. Martin is a very strong contributor to any team and a superb asset for any organization.

Working with Martin on a major redesign was a great joy. His enthusiasm to improve the product spurred on a huge amount of collaboration and together we achieved far more than we had originally set out to do. A simple replacement of the front end became dedicated to adding in user experience improvements wherever we could, with what budget and time would allow. His vision and can-do spirit is an asset to any team with even the most challenging constraints.
