Jamie Diamond
Mark is one of the sharpest business associates I've ever worked with. Time and time again Mark has displayed great creativity and well thought out strategies for new markets and business ventures. I never hesitate to counsel with Mark or bring him in on new opportunities - invaluable experience as an entrepreneur and product-management minded strategist.

I have known Mark for over 15 years and worked with him for 5. He's both incredibly creative during the idea phase and incredibly practical during the implementation phase. These skills have enabled him to successfully bring numerous software products to market. I look forward to working with him again in the future and would recommend him without reservation.
