“I joined a company that credits much of their success to maintaining relationships that are built on trust. They already had a long history of working with Wavemaker, and so I was not surprised to discover Steve & Kari’s high level of integrity. What pleasantly surprised me is the fast and thorough responses they provide me.”
“I have a tendency to rapid fire off requests (that I know seem unreasonable), and Steve and Kari get back to me quickly with well thought out solutions that continue to astound me. They listen to me, confirm I’m not crazy, and respond with brilliance.”
