Lead Consultant
Martin heads Master of TACT with strong background in IT, accounting, communications, marketing and leadership development. From humble beginnings in a residential basement office, he launched the company with access to a single computer, spotty internet connectivity, and a few friends who enlisted his help in analyzing their businesses and guiding them toward self-directed goals. Through creative problem solving, quick decision making and strategic partnership with local professionals in various disciplines, he managed to grow Master of TACT into a local one-stop shop for small-business owners seeking expertise to guide their startups, reorganizations and growth initiatives.
Today, Master of TACT operates from state-of-the-art offices across multiple computing platforms and provide business solutions that transcend industries, sectors, and businesses. Now entrepreneurs can benefit from the power and expert knowledge of a professional network that spans several states along the U.S. northern East Coast, freeing Master of TACT, with Martin at the helm, to focus on what the company does best: leverage existing resources to bring local small- and medium-size businesses closer to their strategic, financial, business, and social goals.
As Lead Consultant, Martin supervises and supports our growing team of specialists and generalists, who in turn work closely with entrepreneurs, small-business owners, and top management professionals in shaping their companies. Himself a certified professional and life skills coach, Martin leverages deep community roots and broad professional networks to help entrepreneurs grow as individuals and as leaders of their respective enterprises. With more than 20 years’ experience in micro and macro levels of business development, office administration, project management and department supervision, he injects a wealth of knowledge and insight into initial consultations with prospective clients and inspires the rest of the team to learn and grow in the same ways.
Although Martin will say he’s the least patient and most tyrannical people manager, his clients and team repeatedly share stories of how gentle and compassionate he is about listening intently to others’ problems, paraphrasing their concerns to make sure he understands them, and then asking questions that lead to interactions in which people largely find their own solutions. He credits leadership guru John C. Maxwell for inspiring Master of TACT’s approach to leadership development: I do it; I do it, you watch; we do it together; you do it, I watch; you do it; you do it, someone else watches. It is how Master of TACT believes leaders develop leaders and how Martin works with entrepreneurs to be the best version of themselves while working on improving other aspects of their businesses.
In his spare time (Martin inserts a snide remark about not knowing what that is), he enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading, studying, taking new courses to improve his mind and learning new ways to help others help themselves.
