Bio
Mark LePine
I've had the pleasure of being in Walter's Vistage group for years now, and Walter is one of those people where everything he says is meaningful and important. He chooses his words and actions carefully, and takes the time and effort to think about his moves and learn whatever he needs to learn in order to understand the situation at hand to the best of his ability. His ability to peel back layers and see any issue or challenge for what it is, and not be distracted by white noise is very impressive, and his general professional nature is something to aspire to. Any organization with Walter in a leadership role is sure to be in great shape.
