MARIE MOLLAND  Owner of CDBW.

 

Marie Molland originally hails from the Hamilton Area and has worked and lived in Brantford over the Last 10 years. She brings over 26 years experience, as a Networking and Systems Consultant, and brings a vast array of technical talents to the table. She has extensive experience in System Analysis and design, Systems Security, Systems Integration, Database creation and Management . Her extensive experience as a programmer/analyst is evident in the quality of her Crystal Reporting, Financial Reporting, Budget Preparation, and Web design along with her Business Communications and Marketing skills. 

Marie has worked for large corporations in the past such as Grand River Conservation Authority, Small Fry Snack Foods Inc. (Humpty Dumpty) , and Harlequin Readers Service. Her philosophy is "Don't just stand there waiting for the storm to pass..... Let me teach you how to dance in the Rain" This philosophy is based on the reality that some middle sized companies that fall into budget constraints cannot afford the large dollars that larger corporations spend to advertise.  Her mission is to make sure the Little Guy is not left out in the rain. Crystal Database and Web design wants to level the playing field and make it affordable for them to compete with the larger corporations and give them the opportunity to grow.

Marie has volunteered her services in the past in helping to organize United Way Campaigns in the companies that she has worked for and created the video background for Brantford's "Classics in Concert" show.
