Deborah "Meg" Survil
On the two occasions I was fortunate enough to be able to work with Mark, he blew everyone in the company away with his integrity, knowledge, ability to quickly and accurately assess a situation and put together a detailed plan for growth. Our team was able to accomplish a great turn-around based on his analysis and assistance in helping us develop a 5 year strategic plan. Our team would not be where we are today without his insight, ability to communicate, leadership, and coaching. His personal investment in excellence and integrity impressed and inspired our younger team members. I count myself exceedingly lucky to have been able to work with and learn from Mark.

Mark is a highly intelligent, articulate, creative, ethical, energetic, strategically-focused, and results-oriented leader. I worked closely with Mark over several years on a variety of acquisition projects; I coordinated the integration efforts of the transactions Mark and his team sourced, negotiated, and closed. I thoroughly enjoyed supporting his projects because he pursued transactions where the strategic rationale and value drivers were clear and because he created and led a team in which creativity was valued.
