Testimonials

What our clients say

“Marcus brought a rare blend of insight, challenge, and empathy to our agency. He was incredibly well-informed and highly engaged throughout, quickly earning the trust and respect of the team. His guidance helped sharpen our HR practices and ultimately improved the way we operate as a business.”

Edward East - Founder & CEO

Billion Dollar Boy

“The landscape for HR management has never been more complex. AI alone changes the game for employment at almost any level. Add to that hybrid workforces, talent shortages, DEI complexity, employee wellness and mental health, and compensation equity issues, and the challenges can be overwhelming for early stage companies. In my work with hundreds of tech companies around the world, I have come to rely on Marcus Haynes to provide the expertise — often as a fractional chief people officer — that my companies lack. He has been invaluable in filling the gaps, addressing the crises and providing the insights that keep these companies on track.”
