This comment could sound sarcastic but it's not. Even that marketing manager could be a nerd, and it would be awesome to find out.
I imagine that an obviously-LaTeX resume (look for the ligatures, the correct spacing between sentences vice after periods, the clean, consistent grey across the page, the bold, clean margins) would play especially well with him. As you might guess from the preceding sentence, it'd probably play pretty well with me, too!
Is vice Latin? It reminds me of pace (because of the "shape" of the word, haha), but I guess it means something akin to except?
So apparently what was meant is
correct spacing between sentences instead of after periods
If the technical people have a specific university background they might be familiar with it, and then either hate it or love it.
It's a good tool for writing large documents but does not signal anything except personal tastes.
