The great news is the commitment the Bartash team has shown me and the desire to grow and adapt, is the right attitude for us to be at the top for many years to come. I am excited to be part of Bartash and to help the sales & marketing team achieve new levels of competitive advantage by collaborating and selling more effectively.”
