WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE MARTY:
Even the best projects and corporate initiatives occasionally falter. I'm the guy that gets involved
when things look like they are heading south and management needs an objective pair of eyes to
assess the situation and someone that can also suggest course corrections. My best work often
doesn't get seen by the organization at large, but it does make a difference in the bottom line or in the quality of
employee’s work-lives.
HOW I CAN HELP:
I can help large manufacturing and distribution organizations achieve desired outcomes, increase
profitability or reduce losses by participating in or leading key project reviews by performing risk
assessments and incorporating a COSO approach that I have developed to problem solving and that
is based on top-down and cross functional reviews of five key aspects of the business cycle
including the organizations; Control Environment set by executive management that sets the tone, provides
and directs resources, Risk management activities by mid-level managers to assess environmental risks and
take appropriate actions, Control activities that the organization uses to confirm compliance with rules and
processes, Systems and Communications to inform key stakeholders and Monitoring of control process
through neutral third parties.
I’m an experienced professional with a proven track record for identifying core issues and
developing fixes that result in success based on my:
• Pragmatic approach to problem solving that works
• Ability to interview for substance and relevant information
• Analytical approach to confirm or deny statements and data
• Communications skills to inform and suggest improvements
