TESTIMONIALS
International Military Project Management
“Bravura Partners was instrumental in creating and then caretaking a major international manufacturing and delivery schedule between multiple US-based manufacturers and a coalition of NATO member nations for critically needed military hardware. Helping us to navigate production constraints, export issues, and a handful of delivery delays, Bravura was pivotal in us achieving our mission critical goals.”
-Tate Erikson, Managing Director, Ava-X AB
Co-Developed with the US Navy Warfare Development Group
LAL-18 Carbon Fiber Special Operations Assault Ladder

Global Logistics & Overseas Sourcing
“I have worked with Mark for more than 15 years sourcing and developing consumer electronics in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou. He was always looking to develop some unique aspect of a product to differentiate it from the competition. He required full quality inspections for every production run in order to ensure that product operation, packaging and branding were always 100% compliant with agreed to specifications.”
-Wing Lai, Director, Surplus Pro Co Ltd. Hong Kong
Mergers & Acquisitions
“I had the pleasure of working with Bravura earlier this year on an acquisition, with Martin at the helm. Not only was he approachable and easy to work with, he provided a clear and concise market analysis and growth roadmap that formed the basis for our strategic plan.”
-Andrew Fors, President, Fors Holdings Incorporated
Warehousing & Inventory Control
“LDI is a pioneer in developing and producing eco-friendly medical supplies. We pride ourselves on our on-time delivery to our many customers, which requires efficient warehousing operations. When we first approached Martin Quigley at Bravura to assist us in a warehouse expansion project, he was quick to point out an alternative solution that not only saved us the cost of expansion, but at the same time actually opened up approximately 30% more space to support our expected growth. Furthermore, Martin’s perspective on inventory control systems also helped us decide to scale down an otherwise costly and disruptive ERP implementation.”
-Dan Drew, Operations Director, LDI Corporation
International Operations
“We retained Bravura to assist us in divesting an unprofitable segment of our business in the UK. Bravura presented an alternate solution, which instead involved moving this business segment to Eastern Europe, thereby permitting us to retain customers, protect our topline, and improve profitability. The project took less than two years, and was a complete success. Martin Quigley was our main point of contact during the project. In addition to being a great guy in general, we found him to be extremely astute, positive and a highly knowledgeable businessman possessing brilliant skills and experience over a plethora of key business functions. Above all of this however are his absolutely outstanding leadership skills (which are of a level that I’ve very, very rarely witnessed elsewhere), his totally natural and highly effective communicational skills, and his ultimate ‘can do’ attitude.”
-Garry Sims, Managing Director, Firth Rixson LTD
Process Improvement & Operational Excellence
“Mark Weyna is an outstanding leader and business professional. He is one of the most versatile and cross functional leaders with whom I have ever worked. He has incredible insight on people, processes, systems, finance and business operations. It is so rare to find someone so insightful as well as being so incredible energetic, enthusiastic, and inspirational to others. Mark made things happen every day, often under very challenging circumstances. He is creative, innovative and highly competent.”
-Mindy Geisser, Chief People Services Officer at Savers
E-Commerce
“Mark Wheeler’s company, Exeter Science & Entertainment, sold as its principal product offering the CoolStream Duo Bluetooth Adapter through its company website as well as online retailers like Amazon.com. The CoolStream product line available from 2012-2023 with more than 9,000 reviews and averaging 4.4 out of 5.0 stars. More often than not Mark’s product was differentiated by its ready availability (the CoolStream Duo was sourced from East Asia), along with Exeter Science & Entertainment’s reputation for excellent customer service.”
Lean & Six Sigma
“Mark Weyna was one of the early adopters of Six Sigma at GE Healthcare. At the time I was the 6-Sigma leader and later the VP of Operations for GE Healthcare and I would warmly recommend Mark as a Six Sigma leader focused on excellence for customers.”

Brand Development & Events Planning
“Rachel Humphries is a magician. Literally weeks before a major exhibition, we were forced to part ways with our outside marketing resources who had been responsible for our organization’s marketing campaigns for nearly a decade. As sheer luck would have it, our sister company recommended that we reach out to Bravura for help. Rachel and her team not only rebooted our efforts and improved our product placement strategy within a matter of mere days, but actually exceeded expectations by delivering on their commitments ahead of schedule. We had the best show ever and look forward to a longstanding relationship with Bravura UK.”
-Richard Wish, Senior Director, AK Steel International
Hospitality & Recreation
“Martin is extremely knowledgeable and organized. He was able to identify some oversights on my part with starting my first business and helped me to execute things diligently and correctly. Martin also approached me with some materials that would help me with my long-term goals for expanding and ultimately franchising my original business. He is great and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Martin Quigley and the team at Bravura to any business owner.”
-Tanya Hart, Owner, Oomph Brand of Salons

Executive Coaching & Interim Leadership
“Off-Piste Engineering is proud to be working with Bravura Partners! The team at Bravura have been essential in helping us develop our road map and set realistic, achievable goals to help us get off the ground. As a tech-based company, Martin’s experience in particular has been invaluable in helping us navigate the unfamiliar territory of the business world. From our first meeting, Martin took the time to really understand out product, and our skills and weaknesses, and he has enthusiastically supported us at every step along the way. Getting Martin and the rest of the team at Bravura on board was one of the best decisions we’ve made so far!”

Media & Strategic Planning
“Shortly after launching Edible Seacoast, New England’s first local culinary magazine, I approached Bravura Partners for advice on how to create a better business plan and meet my sales quota. With very little experience with my magazine, the team at Bravura quickly identified my immediate term risks, thereby helping me avoid missing a critical deadline that may have been detrimental to Edible Seacoast’s first issue.”
-Cait Reagan, Owner and Publisher, Edible Seacoast Magazine
