He proved himself time and time again to be a masterful marketing and business development strategist, while also being one of those rare leaders with the passion, willingness, and ability to see large, complex marketing campaigns through to execution and measurement. I'd recommend Marty as a valuable leader to any marketing or sales team."

“Three words sum up my opinion of Martin Trussel up - Marty appreciates technology. He embraces new ideas and is one of the first to support forward-thinking IT ventures. While at Msaver, Marty and I worked hand in hand in creating an award winning web publication as well as venturing into Search Engine strategy.
Viewing Marty as a mentor, I gained a lot of respect and understanding of good management. Marty never had to be rude or pushy about runaway IT projects - he had a way of encouraging you to get things done (I never wanted to let him down). He was someone that you worked with - not for... a good way to handle us abrasive IT personalities! :)
In summation, I can whole-heartily say that "Marty is the man!" and I highly recommend him on all levels!”
