- Jonathan Weinstein, President, Line of Sight
"Marty O'Neill is a superstar. Not only does he excel at leading and managing businesses, he is a superb coach and mentor. I learned more in the year I worked with him than I have working with any one else. He brought discipline, knowledge, and maturity to our growing business and has remained a friend and adviser since he left. Marty is a visionary with the ability to make things happen. People thrive under his leadership and strive to excel to meet his expectations. He's an excellent writer, and an innovative thinker and everyone who works with him gains from the experience." March 3, 2009
- Susan Stalick, Chief Operating Officer, KBMS Global
"Marty has the great ability to balance strategy and culture with what is needed to meet the operational and business objectives for an organization. Many leaders talk about the 3 legged stool of customers, employees and stakeholders, but Marty has a unique capacity to satisfy these elements without dimishing the value proposition." March 12, 2009
-Tracy Graves Stevens, Chairman & CEO, Innoviss Inc

“The atmosphere Marty fostered at Canal Bridge created a world-class consulting environment, one in which talented, enthusiastic colleagues came together with highly commited customers to achieve excellent outcomes. Working with Marty at Canal Bridge was just a stepping stone in our professional relationship that started when he was CEO at CTX and I was running Human Resource Innovations; we have a valued relationship that continues today.” January 18, 2011
- Jon Kesler, Principal Consultant, Organization Change Management
“Marty is genuinely a great guy. But what separates Marty from the field of consulting professionals is his ability (from been there done that experience, to his track record in helping companies grow strategically) that he has developed in helping businesses run smart and build value. Marty has the proven track record to help companies grow into "Gazelles" and "Leap the Chasm" by thoroughly helping them think and work through the issues of leadership, strategy and core competencies through a process that helps companies develop actionable roadmaps. These “Transformational Initiatives” have helped dozens of companies grow more profitable and much more efficient. Coupling Marty’s programs with great execution = Success!” January 27, 2011
- Greg Boucher, CMAP, CMEA, SBA, Managing Director: M&A; Exit Strategies Institute, The McLean Group
“Marty, on short notice, provided a much-needed business alignment/strategy workshop for two affiliate companies struggling to work together and define their roles in a larger corporate organization. The session was productive, insightful, and resulted in the beginning of a healthier, clearer working relationship between the two companies. I highly recommend Marty's services.” February 3, 2011
- Steve Miller, SVP/General Counsel at Constellation Energy Nuclear Group
“Marty provided KSSI with consulting services from 2007-2009. Marty was a great asset as he provided business consultation in a wide range of areas to include identification of highly qualified management personnel resources, advice with business strategy, change management, and staff development, and he also facilitated business strategy workshops for us. His extensive knowledge, resources, and experiences were extremely helpful to me.” February 3, 2011
- Jeanne Kimmich Roberts, President at KSSI
“I met Marty while working at Conquest now part of the Boeing Company. I also hired Marty to run a management offsite for i2S, Inc. – a company I founded and subsequently sold. Marty knows business, Marty knows people, Marty know reality, and Marty knows process and organization. He is very capable of “herding the cats” in your firm and making them see opportunities that they never envisioned. From his pure brainstorming strategy he develops an executable action plan with clear assignments and due dates! His business acumen is outstanding I hope one day to be able to work with Marty again and I highly recommend Marty as a sounding board and as a facilitator to help steer both emerging and mature firms.” February 7, 2011
- Randy Meyers, VP National Security Group at Camber Corporation
“Following the acquisition of Conquest Inc. by The Boeing Company, Marty was instrumental in leading the transition, as we integrated our business units, established new operational constructs and otherwise navigated the clash of cultures. His encyclopedic business knowledge, experience in leading change, and good humor made the otherwise tumultuous period into a positive experience. I learned a lot from Marty and recommend him highly.” February 8, 2011
- Dean Johnson, CEO and President at Entegra Systems Inc

Marty excels in the area of mergers/acquisition by looking at the books and ensuring that all details of the financials are documented properly so that maximum value can be achieved.
