Strategy & Org Effectiveness
Having a strong coach is fundamental to the success of any team and even for the president of a company that holds true. I have worked with Mark for over two years and during that time Great Lakes Combustion has experienced a 10% growth in revenue and nearly a 15% improvement in profitability. Mark was instrumental in helping to guide me through a significant culture change within my business and enable my own growth as a leader. With his coaching I have been able to create a strategy that has allowed my business to take a greater share of our local market while simultaneously expanding into new markets internationally. His insights and experience have helped me bring clarity to my vision for my company and establish the framework for greater accountability, feedback and support within it. Mark is a fantastic coach, and confidante that can help anyone that wants to improve their business and bring it to new heights.

Coaching / Org Transformation
As CIO for the Americas region of a multi-billion-dollar company, I partnered with Mark for strategic HR consulting. Our goal was to enhance employee engagement and manage organizational change as we merged our North and South American tech teams. Mark's work stood out in quality and results. He assessed our tech team from Canada to Chile, pinpointing strengths and areas needing improvement. Using data from our global survey, Mark gave practical advice on team integration across both continents. He effectively built integration plans that factored in our people and organizational goals. Moreover, Mark offered coaching to me and my team, ensuring open communication and feedback. The result was a better and more resilient work atmosphere. I wholeheartedly endorse Mark as a dependable coach and consultant.

Organizational Transformation
Mark took on the top HR leadership role in Arcadis Canada following the acquisition and integration of four challenged businesses. Upon joining, Mark conducted a thorough assessment of the four organizations strategic priorities, structure, leadership team, culture , capabilities and people platforms. As a member of the Senior Management Team, Mark contributed to a clear and effective business strategy and a streamlined organizational design. He used his knowledge of organizational capability assessment and talent management strategies to make a real difference. Mark was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the integration. In year two, Arcadis Canada turned the corner in terms of profitability and growth, and continued to integrate fully into the global business. I recommend Mark’s consulting and coaching to anyone seeking to transform their business.
