Marnus started his professional career in the Telecommunications space around 1998, earning his “wings” in the technology space. He has travelled through Europe whilst building his Technical skills, including projects to build large scale VoIP call centres and Municipal networks.
He joined Neotel as one of the first employees in September 2006 in the IP Engineering team, after coming from his latest IP enabled call centre project for one of the large Mobile operators.
