CEO
Parakeeto

What can I say about Marquis Murray that’s not obvious from everything he has going on… I met Marquis during an event we were co-hosting and immediately I learned what a professional he is. Afterwards, I immediately invited Marquis to present his knowledge of project management and Asana integration to our community of agencies. Since I have introduced him to anyone I can think of and all I hear is what I already knew – his expertise is proven, and he’s the guy to go to for company project management optimization.
