Eh'den Biber, former IT Risk & Compliance Officer

Marc is very dedicated, has lot's of energy and enthusiasm to share with his team and to meet his goals. I really enjoyed working together with him and respect him for his expertise and experience in the field of security, business continuity, privacy and risk management. I also had the opportunity to cooperate with him on various management subjects during strategic practice meetings and was always pleased with his markets driven thinking. Marc is simply fantastic in sharing knowledge and his opportunism invigorates others to undertake complex and first-time project experiences. He is also very strong in relationship building and gained a strong reputation as lecturer in the fields of his expertise.
