The judges found that Marc demonstrated essential KAM characteristics and best practices really well.
He had to deal with a complex and challenging account, and his continuous commitment has been vital in gaining the internal and customer support needed to advance 500relationships and results. He managed the creation of customised solutions and tools that have been vital to success.
