James Marlar founded Intersect Solutions, LLC in 2004 (that became Hallmark Business Group in 2006) because of his interest in mergers and acquisitions. His 30-year career in the IT industry ended when he was chosen as part of the management team that prepared and managed the sale of a major division of Protective Life Insurance Company. As Assistant Vice President managing the IT resources for the Division he worked with the other managers to bring about a successful transfer valued at $300,000,000.

James’ 35 years of work experience includes years spent with companies in the top 100 worldwide and small companies with less than 10 employees. Working with both local employees and international contractors has given him an insight into a business owner’s employee relationships, budget management, and competitive struggles.

James is a graduate of The University of Alabama School of Business and a military veteran. He is a prominent affiliate of the Business Brokers Network (BBN) and has presented techniques he has developed to other brokers in the BBN Network at seminars and training sessions.
