Entrepreneurial Experience

Martin Enterprises (New York, NY)

From the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s, I ran a small office and software services business, Martin Enterprises, which was a sole proprietorship with me as the only employee. I provided services in word processing, spreadsheet creation and design, database front-end design, software documentation, and software training.

LMA Business Solutions (New York, NY)

In the late 1990s, I incorporated my consulting business as L. Martin Associates, Inc., dba LMA Business Solutions (“LMA”).  I established the LMA brand as a small, boutique firm, and hired personnel for contract work at Fortune 500 companies and small businesses. LMA provided all the services as my previous business, but expanded into business analysis, process analysis and improvement, project management, software product management, customer support, and more. I employed and supervised a staff of 10, most of whom were technical writers trained by me and placed on projects at companies which were clients of LMA.
