Improver Spotlight - Marcus King

Meagan Thompson // October 18, 2017

Meet Marcus King, one of our principal consultants. His specialty is in .NET and JavaScript. Marcus also does technical coaching for our clients.

“I help clients make their environment better for development and working,” Marcus shares. “I make their technology work for them as opposed to them working for it.”

After moving to the Dallas area from Las Vegas in 2011, Marcus found a job posting from Improving for a direct hire position. He worked for that company for two years before joining our team and calling Improving family. Marcus has officially been an Improver for about three years.

“What I love about working here is the accessibility of the leadership,” Marcus shares. “If I want to have a conversation with the CEO or President, they’re available. They’re all ears and they’re always willing to listen. That’s near impossible to find and it just means a lot to me.”

“There’s a ton of brainpower in this office. I walk in and I’m not the smartest person in the room. I get to absorb all of the knowledge from the other people here... so that’s just amazing to me.”

Every year, all of the Improving offices meet in Las Vegas for the company retreat. It is always a great opportunity for Improvers to bond with coworkers they may not get to see very often.

“I really love the Vegas trips. They’re awesome. There’s a lot of great camaraderie that goes on and I think it really helps build relationships across the different Improving offices we have. We have different enterprises so it helps you to get to know that we’re not just a Dallas company.”
