Bio
Joe Carapella
When I began working with Mark his focus on strengthening the success of the business became evident quickly. Working with him over the years I observed how his interest in understanding external as well as internal influences allows Mark to identify opportunities for improvements from multiple angles. He recognizes the value of networking to build relationships and leverages this to influence and make decisions. Mark makes it a point to keep current with corporate studies, proven practices and the teachings of successful leaders. He brings what he learns to the table which stimulates new thought processes and ideas. I recommend Mark based on his well rounded business approach and his commitment to developing and growing as a leader.

Mark is what I call a "Confident Leader" who has a firm position on all matters, and knows the direction he wants to go. Mark thinks very creatively, does not shy away from challenging the satus quo and indeed thinks out of the box. His strong business accumen makes him a good business leader one that takes into account not only the direction of our immediate group or company, but considerations from the competition, and the impact on our customers. In my workings with Mark, I found him to be strong and honest imn everything he does. I am confident he can make a positive difference to any group/job/function he is to be a part off.
