Testimonial

Jason Crickmer

Delivery Director, Slalom

Martin has a unique and incredibly valuable combination of intelligence, curiosity, drive, and determination, and it shows in each engagement I have had with him. First as a vendor and partner, Martin brought his technical talents and creativity to help Pluck/Demand Media solve a range of customer delivery needs. Then I joined Martin in his consultancy, where his depth of knowledge of our industry, ecommerce (and specifically Magento), and his professionalism were proven over and over again in client engagements. I recommend Martin without hesitation - he will be an invaluable asset to any team that he serves.
