He is a very knowledgeable, well-organized leader in the Cannabis industry, who is easy to work with, stays on top of communications, and helps break big issues into more manageable pieces, to help clients make progress without feeling overwhelmed by the scope of a project. Marc's expertise in ESG in the industry is unmatched, and his breadth of experiences over the years uniquely positions him to help diverse groups of people and organizations achieve their goals."

We ended up with a much clearer picture of who we are as a business, what are priorities are and what impact we want to have. Marc is a skilled and passionate professional who is a true thought leader in the industry."

"I cannot say enough great things about working with Marc. He understands the climate in the industry better than anyone else I know from an environmental and social responsibility perspective. He has worked with several mutual clients of ours and I have received extremely positive feedback regarding his work. He has an amazing love for the industry and a great wealth of integrity. I highly recommend working with him to improve your company. You will not regret it."

Kimberly Stuck, Founder & CEO, Allay Consulting

"I first met Marc in 2016, when he was trailblazing a new CSR/ESG path in the cannabis industry and was immediately supportive of his efforts. After watching both his work and thought leadership in the industry over the years, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to hire him to lead a new Impact & ESG practice at Vicente Sederberg. Inside the firm, he stood in a leadership role not only in the Impact/ESG and EHS practices, but also created new Community Engagement and Sustainability committees at the firm, served in pro-bono and DEI committee leadership roles, and was an essential element to VS’s culture. While supervising him at VS, he taught me a great deal about the importance of ESG, and I quickly realized that Marc is the definition of a “servant leader,” with vision, creativity, an unparalleled work ethic, and a driving enthusiasm to make organizations responsive to a variety of challenging stakeholder demands. I would highly recommend Marc for any organization seeking both knowledge and leadership in the areas of ESG and CSR and hope to continue to work with him into the future."

Christian Sederberg, Founding Partner, Strategies 64; Special Counsel, Vicente, LLP

"Marc I met at an industry event. Since meeting him he has opened my eyes to important topics and conversations, taught me about ESG, was gracious and generous with his time and perspective and invited me to participate in a webinar about real estate. He is warm, knowledgeable and was the catalyst for me suggesting that the firm I worked at consider retaining the company that he worked at. He is a tractor beam that leads with contribution. I can't wait to work with him again."

Yarrow Kubin, Founder, Special Teams Consulting

"It was a massive pleasure to get to work with Marc. As a professional, he is capable, consistent and compassionate and would welcome the opportunity work with him anytime. In the business of making the world a better place, he is the right blend of cerebral horsepower, creativity and get-it-done."

Ben Kimbro, Principal, Kimbro Strategies

"When founding WillPower, I knew I wanted to create a brand that stood for something meaningful. Marc was able to help me identify what mattered to me most and how WillPower could be a force for the greater good. Marc’s ability to find synergy in purpose and cause will help WillPower maintain a strong foundation of morals and values for the years to come."
