Marti Elliott
Senior Project Manager
Marti Elliott specializes in post-sale operations and project management, including network and billing oversight. With more than 50 years in the industry, few people know more about telecommunications than Marti. Her career began at AT&T and she advanced through various positions in the company to become a Network Design Engineer. That experience serves LingoTek well with Marti managing product implementations including POTS service, MIS, ethernet, MPLS networks, and more.
When Marti isn’t auditing bills or addressing network needs, you can find her in the garden, reading the latest book, or working a 15,000 piece puzzle. But her favorite way to spend time is with her family.
Vinnie & Otis
Staff Assistants
Vinnie and Otis serve as staff assistants, though they haven’t mastered bringing us coffee just yet. We did take them off phone duty when callers complained about being “barked at.” As lap dogs, they mostly keep us in our seats working on behalf of our great clients. However, they do allow for occasional breaks for fetch and belly rubs. The boys also work the reception area of our office by greeting and notifying us of all guests.
