Mark provided excellent support leading to the acquisition of CW/Rampage. He assisted in packaging the offer, making outreach to prospective buyers and closing the transaction.

David Shea

As a Fortune 500 executive, I needed someone I could rely upon to send anywhere in the world to accomplish any objective professionally and with little supervision. For many years Mark was that person. We accomplished a great deal together and while doing so, built a long-lasting friendship. David Shea Former Chief Information Officer Executive Committee Member Imerys, S. A. and Ciba Vision a Novartis Company
