Mark has C-Level experience working for and raising funds within private equity-backed start-up companies. Alongside two other co-founders and with Koch Industries as the primary investor, he most recently oversaw the commercial launch of a $1.6B new steel company, Big River Steel. While most of Mark's career was in heavy industry, he spent three years as the Managing Director of a boutique strategic consulting company's industrial and consumer manufacturing practice. It was these experiences that led to his passion that everyone must have a line of sight to their role in an organization's strategy and success.
