Bio
Kris Auderer
Mark is one of the absolute very best managers I've ever had reporting to me. He's dedicated, self-sufficient, articulate, and always professional. He is conscientious and caring. Not only is his business acumen top-notch, but he handles stressful situations with ease, and he has a great sense of humor. He makes his employees feel comfortable while still holding them accountable. He creates a strong sense of unity by pitching in and working alongside his team, and has mastered the skill of maintaining balance between the roles of teammate and leader. With his multi-faceted portfolio of experience, Mark is a fit for a variety of positions. I'd hire him again myself in a heartbeat!
