Mark is very knowledgeable in financial and asset management and often sees several steps ahead when considering the benefits or concerns of a situation, working to mitigate potential unfavorable outcomes before others are even aware of them. He is very attentive to the details no matter how small. Above all, Mark acts with the utmost professionalism while also being candid and up front, but always compassionate. In my tenure at Ironwood with him, Mark fosters the development of others through true leadership, motivating, inspiring and guiding others to succeed.
