"Mr. DiGrazia's 25 year track record of over-achievement and customer satisfaction within the industry exemplified the type of individual we wanted developing and heading up our national sales team."

"I am excited to be part of a team of individuals that caters to the people we do business with and not just the company they represent," said Mr. DiGrazia. "The personal touch customers receive from Mzima is genuine and we care about the quality of the services we provide. In its 3 year existence Mzima has become a well-respected name in the IP sector, and I hope to increase the industry's awareness of this exciting company."
