Marcus Bearden’s Summary

Often described as a serial entrepreneur, I specialize in maximizing effective organizational & project efficiency through the use of technology. Having spent time in the financial services, manufacturing, information technology and accounting industries, I've learned to bridge the universal gap between "IT" and the Operations / Executive teams. Integrating the proper tools appropriately into an organization, or merely restructuring & optimizing the existing tools, can yield tremendous results.

By focusing on the use & implementation of technology as an asset rather than a liability, the focus shifts from managing internal systems to the increased top line revenues. Whether that change is facilitated through additional revenue from improved marketing & sales or bottom-line productivity by decreasing operational overhead & staff productivity, my goal is to see every business I work with regain some of the flexibility and mobility that allows small businesses to survive and even be profitable, regardless of the current economical environment.

For each client, I effectively drive projects & implementations to successful completion and within budget constraints. Where projects have had flexible or evolving scope, I’ve easily adapted to additional requirements while managing operational expectations, team coordination efforts, milestone schedules and project cost constraints.
