“I’ve worked with Marius since 2000 when he joined our sales team at AST, a major JSE listed company. Performing consistently, he achieved double target for three years running. His approach stands out – using his remarkable people skills and incorporating contributions from everyone in the team. The results showed his ability to make people feel secure makes them naturally gravitate towards him. Let me also commend his talent for “herding cats” or aligning and nourishing a group to achieve next level performance. You’ll want Marius’ contribution to explore renewal, probe existing beliefs that should maybe be challenged, and expose new ideas particularly when everyone isn’t aligned just yet.u0022I have been working with these guys for years now!
