Why I joined Markaaz

Markaaz is a trailblazer. The company is solving long-standing industry challenges by finding, matching, and verifying legitimate small businesses while setting an example of responsible business operations. The fact that ESG has been a core value from the beginning is important to customers as well as inspiring for other growing businesses.

— Jodi Caro

Why I joined Markaaz

Markaaz addresses a clear problem that needs to be solved. Their solutions are results-driven, easy to implement, and have the potential to establish an entirely new standard in the market. This will allow many more small businesses to access the essential services they need to thrive.

— Michael Marcus

Why I joined Markaaz

The role of risk assessment and management technologies is increasingly important for companies big and small. Having spent nearly two decades guiding Best Buy through compliance and fraud work, and understanding the need for efficient solutions at scale, I am excited to support Markaaz on its mission.

— Todd Hartman
