Ideation
I am fascinated by ideas. I am able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena. This excitement is further amplified when working with others.

"Mark's enthusiasm, personality and ability to project multi-task make him a natural entrepreneur. It's quite rare to see.
I watched Mark be successful in numerous companies of his own or others and help the community at every turn."
"Mark is a pleasure to collaborate with and his ability to see the bigger picture makes him a fantastic project lead when efficiency is paramount.
If knowledge is power then Mark is a huge asset to any organisation he steps into in whatever capacity."
"Mark handled a very time sensitive website update for our company website.
He executed fast, precisely and well.
Can highly recommend."
"I was referred to Mark as the person to contact if you need anything related to web development, design, copyrighting (and much more actually!).
Not only does he take the time to understand your needs but he explains technical subjects as simply, or in as much detail as you want or need to know.
He is a great communicator, very generous with his time and very talented.
He is keen on sharing his knowledge always with a smile, leaving you with a positive feeling and always available when you need him."
"Mark has been an invaluable resource for our company.
His technical understanding, business knowledge, and communication skills have been essential in helping to make working with major Chinese suppliers such a pleasure!"
"I’m proud to call Mark a friend; and even though he now works on the other side of the world, I continue to look forward to hearing his words and wisdom.
He was the person that helped me through the early days of building Pulse Cinemas and I’ll never forget his words of support and motivation during the early years in business.
He would be an invaluable asset to any company; if of course he’s not busy changing the world and giving his energy to people that are lucky enough to cross his path."
