From graphic design, to multimedia production, training, and consulting, there is truly nothing that Marco doesn’t do exceptionally well. He elevated our team with his positive attitude and gained the respect of so many because of his willingness to always go the extra mile. His enthusiasm is contagious. Marco creates raving fans wherever he goes, and it was my absolute privilege to have had someone like Marco on my team. His incredible work ethic, dedication, and commitment to a standard of excellence is what made him stellar in his role...but his authenticity, sincerity, and caring nature is what sets him apart from everyone else.
Marco is unequivocally one of the best professionals I've had the pleasure of working with in my career. He brings to the table an amazing personality that balances professionalism and personal connection incredibly well, allowing him to immediately connect with those around him and form connections that take some years to form.
He has a skillset that combines creativity, design, marketing and learning and development. The combination of these skillsets allowed us to partner together to deliver quality go-to-market strategies, marketing, and learning and development content for partners that focused on the engagement and training of their salesforce to drive adoption and immediate, consistent execution. Equally impressive is the speed at which Marco works. Marco understands that time is often of the essence and that we often work on tight deadlines. He mobilizes quickly on all assignments and delivers far above expectations each time.
Marco is a subject matter expert in so many areas and has made an incredible impact during our time working together. I could not recommend him and his creative abilities any more.
I had the honor of working with Marco at SigFig. Marco led our L&D efforts directly with our partner engagements, driving growth for their programs. Marco is an incredible colleague and one who will provide immediate impact to any organization. His utmost professionalism both internally and externally, incredible quality of work, bias to action, and expertise in L&D are what would make him an incredible asset to any firm. He created an L&D program from the ground up, which was quickly implemented and yielded immediate results. In addition to being effective with clients, Marco has been a wonderful cross-functional partner. He is incredibly collaborative and partner-centric and it's been an absolute pleasure working with him.
I’m delighted to provide a strong recommendation for Marco, a talented professional I had the pleasure of working with at SigFig.
During our time working together, I had the privilege of witnessing Marco's exceptional expertise in analyzing user needs, developing immersive training materials, and implementing effective strategies aimed at enhancing user proficiency. Beyond his expertise in Learning & Development, Marco also demonstrated remarkable skills in sales enablement and consulting, leveraging his deep understanding of our products to provide valuable insights and guidance to our sales team.
I highly recommend Marco for any role or project that requires a versatile professional with expertise in Sales Enablement, Consulting, and Learning & Development.
