Harris Pezzella, President of Marathon Consulting, said,  "To be recognized for 5 years running by Inc. Magazine is extremely gratifying, particularly given Marathon's approach to growth and our commitment to quality. From day one, our vision has been based on building a company which strives to be the best provider of Information Technology services in Hampton Roads first and foremost, not the biggest. This, we believe, manifests itself through the customer service we provide our clients and is executed by our first-class consulting team. As Marathon finds new clients that we are able to serve, we take pride in the satisfaction of those clients who continue to call on us."
