Bio
Kevin Frailey
Mark and I have worked together at two different stops in our careers, most recently with Futuris. Mark has shown tremendous capability in both leading teams and projects, while also managing margins and profitability program by program. In his most recent position as Director of PM, the China operation built a book of business that tripled annualized revenue. He is adept at managing both customers and internal constituents.

I've had the opportunity to work with Mark at two companies. Mark first worked for Commerical Vehicle Group when I was CEO. Mark was responsible as a business development and then as plant manager of a green field start up. He's very diligent in his responsibilities and was successful in each assignment. Mark joined Futuris where I was Chairman of the BOD the also CEO. Mark was listed as program manager but was much more. He and his manager grew the business by 250% with new customers at the top tier OEM customers of Geely and SAIC. Mark is an individual I look forward to working with again. Merv Dunn
