Geschäftsführender Partner bei gittmann + klein GmbH

I have known Mark for more than 20 years during my role as Finance Director at Delcam/Autodesk. I have seen him develop his skills from starting as a support engineer, into a sales engineer and finally as a senior product manager in the technical marketing field. Through this transition he has shown leadership skills with a good work ethic and determination to get the job done. Always put in the hours to ensure success. Given his significant customer interface he showed great negotiation skills and customer rapport. Always a happy chap and a team player. Will be an asset for whomever he works.

Kulwant Singh

Finance Director at HVM Catapult

Mark was on my team for 2 years at Autodesk. He was an excellent member of the team and contributed much in the way of strategy, collaboration, and business development. Quality of work and input was always outstanding. I expanded Mark's role beyond just supporting Autodesk's subtractive offerings to supporting the entire breadth of advanced manufacturing solutions for Autodesk's strategic customers. In this role, he quickly grasped the expanded role and immediately provided value to our manufacturing sales organization and our customers. Always a great team player and everyone Mark was supporting appreciated his work. I received numerous unsolicited thanks from others in the organization for how he had supported them and contributed to the overall success of the organization. He was a trusted advisor for me and the other members of my team. His knowledge of the manufacturing industry is extensive and relied on by many in the organization.

Robert Yancey

Business Development Director at Hexcel Corporation

Mark is a rare leader who combines deep manufacturing knowledge, customer focus, global businesses acumen and an emphasis on building strong teams. He's a valued member of the global manufacturing community and a tremendous asset for any organization that he's associated with.

Greg Fallon

CEO at Geminus

Mark has the ability to find the positive in any situation, not only as an outlook but more importantly put a plan in place to make it so. After taking over from Mark back in 2003, managing the Delcam Windsor office in Canada, I was struck by the deep and trusting relationships he was able to establish with the local customers and team in such a short period of time. Mark is an extremely credible and experienced business leader, his knowledge, project management, and work ethic makes him an integral part of any organization.

I had the pleasure of working side by side with Mark for over 10 years. Those that know him in this capacity know there isn’t a more driven team leader who can perfectly balance his experience, intellect, managerial skills and light touch to get anything done quickly and professionally. Also, not many people have meeting rooms named after them in a big organisation...speaks volumes.

Chris Lawrie

Owner & CEO FIT360 Ltd

I’ve interacted with Mark from a customer level beginning Sept 2011. Mark exemplifies what supplier to customer relations should look like. His honesty and integrity are witnessed just upon meeting him. Mark truly cares about people and the relationship. Working thru difficult projects in order to advance technology which involved several intercontinental connections, Mark was able to successfully manage all of them. Over the past several years I’ve personally grown to appreciate Marks example of servant leadership and have been blessed to call him my friend.
