Client Testimonials

I had the pleasure of working with Mark when he was hired as an HR advisor to provide Due Diligence and Integration support during the acquisition of Lord+Taylor by Le Tote. I found him to be very strategic - quickly assessing the issues at hand - and providing expert guidance with impact. Mark was then appointed Interim CHRO to help steward the business through a turbulent yet exciting chapter, driving competency-based upskilling initiatives and standing up a high-performing, customer-centric HR team.
Mark was an outstanding partner to me. He quickly became a trusted individual within the company and as such was able to readily assess what needed to be done with urgency, expertise, and professionalism.
I highly recommend him to other executives and companies who have similar needs.

Mark’s strategic vision, Talent to Value expertise and timely application of best practices allowed him to create strategies instrumental to our rapid growth. His resourcefulness crafting solutions to diverse workforce issues was nothing short of remarkable. He played a pivotal role attracting top talent in a fiercely competitive market. Mark is an outstanding strategic HR leader; encountering standout expertise like his is a rarity. His profound comprehension of strategic HR principles and best practices is matched only by his exceptional ability to craft and execute high-impact HR solutions customized to suit the specific needs of organizations, regardless of size or growth stage. What sets Mark apart is his remarkable talent for engaging with stakeholders at all levels from Boards & C-Suite to front-line staff coupled with his proactive approach and strong problem-solving skills.

What is most delightful about Mark is his uncanny range of seasoned perspectives, from multinational executive strategy to start-up entrepreneurial urgency, from revenue-generation initiatives to de-risking operations and from leadership development to team engagement, transformation and motivation -- Mark has the unique ability to appropriately right-size his advisory insights to bear at most any enterprise. I'd eagerly recommend Mark as a strategic advisor to teams, leaders and organizations seeking to realize their greatest potential.
