“…Mark's ability to assess and remedy processes is exceptional; so is his ability to assess leadership and technical talent and to recommend ways to improve.

“…Mark's experience is vast and his counsel is always pragmatic with a view on the short term objectives as well as the long term vision. He is always on my short list of individuals to call and I continue to use his counsel on a regular basis. He is probably the most balanced and thoughtful individuals you could ever meet. Thank you Mark for all the support you have provided to me and my team on our critical journey.”

“I've been working with Mark for almost one year now and would wholeheartedly recommend him as an advisor to anyone looking to grow their business. His insight into the corporate structuring, strategic planning, and general business decision making process in our company has been invaluable…”
Daniel Hedaya, Managing Partner, DAX Real Estate
I worked with Mark when he was brought in to Dun & Bradstreet to put a very large-scale program back on track ($148M USD). Mark came in to the Global Program Director role and rapidly put structure and purpose around all aspects of a global program. Mark achieved this by spending the time to understand the goals, history, challenges and the people involved. He then moved on to building widespread collaboration (across the globe), and from there he built out a program plan that yielded success (against the odds and all prior indications). Mark is structured, super smart, savvy, and a thorough professional (one of the best I have met).
Patrick Condren, Ph.D., CIO, Sysnet Global Solutions
“Mark's advice and support in the past year has allowed our company to excel in multiple areas. When we initially started working with him I was a little apprehensive of his proposed changes… …Now I can honestly say that our company is in the best position it has been since the start. Our infrastructure is strong, our company values have only strengthened and as business owners we can finally invest more of our time in growing the business as opposed to maintaining the business. He is professional, detailed oriented, genuine, patient and very easy to work with. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for guidance from someone with experience to help grow and improve their business.”
Dezireh Eyn, COO, Platinum Properties
"Mark is a grade 'A' talent and human being. We worked together on a 3-month assignment developing a strategic planning model for our company. Mark’s an unusual mix of high level thought leader, experienced manager / board member and tactician, with a fun and engaging personality and a high EQ. He’s eager to put his shoulder to the wheel to ensure expectations and timelines are met. I’m a better leader thanks to Mark.”
