Dr. Ron Marquardt, Founder of MVP Seminars
“I guarantee the brightest & most affordable business trainers and keynote motivational speakers on the web.”
MVP Seminars was created in 1978 by Dr. Ron Marquardt in response to the growing need for quality business trainers, keynote speakers, and small business consultants. After arming himself with a Doctorate from UC Berkeley in Ed. Psych., he sat down with a cold beer, pencil & piece of paper, & proceeded to sketch out his dream of building a first class training company, catering to corporate USA.This was not an easy task, especially going head to head with, Speakers Bureaus. & meeting planners. Fortunately, the Internet leveled the playing field, & the business really thrived.
As Ron likes to say, “Only in America”, can your dreams become reality!
The Marquardt family has eased into semi-retirement, knowing that Jill Scala their hand picked president & new partner, will lead MVP into several more decades of success & prosperity.
