In Mark’s current role, working with organizations to increase enterprise value and rapidly improve profitability, he has delivered proven results. One recent organization where Mark partnered with the ownership, the team was able to go from “not purchasable” to getting one of the highest multiple values paid by a particular private equity firm in less than one year.

Mark has also provided leadership as Vice President of Service for Legence, a Blackstone private equity held portfolio company. In this role, Mark is responsible for increasing enterprise value through the development and implementation of services and recurring revenue growth.
