“Mark’s experience, professionalism, hard-work and professionalism were valuable qualities for me to have in my boss and in the head of marketing at the company. At that time, our marketplace was still quite formative and very eventful with a lot of pressure on us from investors. So, the work environment was pressured and political. Mark impressed me with his ability to stay focused during this period and was able to deal with his colleagues with professionalism and aplomb, even when this was not reciprocated. His breadth and depth of marketing and corporate experience served him well in the VP role. He was able to deliver and steer many projects personally, as well as give effective guidance and mentoring to his team. I would welcome the chance to work with him again.” — Dave Robertson, Product Marketing Manager, Constellar Corporation
