I have had the pleasure of working with Mark on key strategic initiatives at both AXA Equitable and Penn Mutual. l have found him to be a highly dedicated and professional executive who was respected by all who worked with him. He combines intelligence with common sense to make smart and effective business decisions. Mark has outstanding people and leadership skills. In addition to the high energy Mark brings to the table, a key driver to the success of the projects Mark has sponsored has been his ability to build relationships with people at all levels of the company. He can work directly with the project manager on tactical execution if needed or with the Executive team in defining and executing corporate strategy. I would not hesitate if given the opportunity to work with Mark in the future.
