Testimonials
"I have worked with Mark on numerous occasions since 2015 which has given me a broad perspective on Mark as a leader and subject matter expert.
Most recently Mark led a group-wide end-to-end internal operating model review following lean six sigma principles, which I was fortunate to contribute to. I was impressed by his methodical approach and his in-depth knowledge of operating model design. With determination and focus, a significant amount of data was collected, processed and distilled into pragmatic solutions.
More generally, Mark really stands out to me as a composed, knowledgeable and reliable leader with high standards of integrity. His collaborative management style and insatiable appetite for learning are truly inspiring and I genuinely hope I will have the opportunity of working with Mark again in the future."
