Your "customer experience" talk was outstanding - in my opinion the best Tile Africa has ever had in the last 10-years. People are still talking about the points you raised today. I look forward to working with you again! Kate R. van Niekerk, Marketing Executive, Tile Africa

"Of the 11 speakers at the international marketing conference, Ian won best speaker. Normally a speaker receives a few below average scores, but out of the 1,100 delegates there was not one. That's extraordinary." Sepehr Tarverdian, International Conference Organiser

"Of 20 international speakers at the Quality Managers Conference (2012), Ian not only won the best speaker award, but also broke the record score for a speaker in Iran." Alan Ayers, Speakers Inc.

Brief profile: Ian is currently a strategic business consultant and facilitator. Prior to starting Markitects Consulting in 2005, his last big corporate position was Marketing & Sales Director of the global zipper giant, YKK. Ian's competitive advantage is his depth of experience in both the marketing and leadership functions (so often it's leadership, not marketing that needs to be improved). He considers it a privilege to do exactly what he wants to do, which is share this knowledge and experience.
