He possesses extensive qualifications in all facets of project life cycle, from initial feasibility analysis and conceptual design through documentation, implementation, user training and enhancement.

“I have always believed I am in the people business, so every day is a new opportunity to make a positive impact in someone’s life,” noted Webb.

Coming to Renkus-Heinz with nearly 10 years of experience in communications, Marisa Lainson joins as marketing manager with a background primarily in copywriting, editing, design, and media management.
