“Mark is by far the best leader-teacher that I have had the pleasure to know. In terms of strategically transforming a business, I don't need to say much because the results everywhere he’s been are evident.  Beyond that, what I valued most about the opportunity to work with Mark was the chance to experience the energy and focus that he applies to growing talent and moving an organization from a group of workers to a strong team of professionals.  This focus was not a separate activity from running the business, it was the business.  I would be happy to work anywhere Mark was involved.” ~  Lee Preijers, Senior Manager, Intuit - Print & Product Administration & Retail Order Management – Lee reported to Mark at Intuit.


"Mark is the best manager I have had the opportunity to work with in my supply management career. His benevolent leadership style with its focus on team sucess and goal attainment has fostered a highly professional, motivated and driven supply chain team at XM. I have learned a great deal about myself as a leader and thrived as a result of his direct coaching and guidance. Mark's virtuous nature and results driven attitude brings the best out of people throughout the organization. I would recommend Mark without hesitation for any senior leadership role." ~  Valmore Bloomberg, Director of Procurement, XM Satellite Radio - Valmore reported to Mark at XM Satellite Radio.

“Mark focuses on teamwork and building a solid community within the world of the Supply Chain. He is a results oriented, get things done leader with a strong skill in leading his team through analysis, root cause and process improvements to ensure the learnings from each “season” where documented and implemented. As his business partner in Retail Sales, I have always found Mark willing and able to make the right business decisions around my customer’s expectations. Not every decision went my customer’s way, but I knew without a doubt, that Mark was making the right decision for our 3 stakeholders (Employees, Customers, and Shareholders).”  ~  Bill Chase, Director Retail Sales, Intuit – Mark and his organization supported Bill and his Retail sales team.

“Mark is one of the strongest leaders I have worked with in my 21 years with Microsoft. He possesses deep knowledge on a broad range of technical and business management issues. Additionally, Mark is one of the hardest-working people I have been associated with at Microsoft, a company that has traditionally been known for high levels of effort. I have no hesitation in personally endorsing Mark for senior level positions in any discipline he chooses to pursue.”  ~ Gene Purschwitz, Director of Business Execution Americas Operating Center, Microsoft – Gene reported to Mark at Microsoft.

“Mark was an inspiring leader while he was at Intuit. I learned more working for Mark than I had in many years prior to his arrival.  These learnings were supply chain concepts and more importantly what it means to be a "leader."  He taught me to think more strategically as well as end to end.  Mark's focus on developing the "team" here at Intuit is still the prevalent mindset across the supply chain and what we learned together with Mark is invaluable. I would strongly recommend Mark for an Executive position based on my experience working with him.”  ~  Mike Watson, Senior Supply Chain Manager, Intuit - Mike worked in Mark's organization at Intuit.  


"I have worked with Mark for a year now, and it has been the best year of my professional life - in no small part thanks to him. He is an unparallelled leader, a collaborater and communicator who truly believes that to lead is to serve. He is warm and approachable, and unflinching in his honesty and his common sense approach to problem solving. He has faith in his peers and employees and always empowers them to be responsible for their own success (and failure) through transparent data sharing and a culture of teamwork. Every day I learn, and every day he smiles and pushes me harder - and I wouldn't have it any other way. I heartily and unreservedly recommend him for any role."  ~  Anna Rose, Supply Chain Program Manager, XM Satellite Radio - Anna worked in Mark's organization at XM Satellite Radio.


“In the time I was privileged to work with Mark, his leadership of the Supply Chain function at Intuit was exceptional.   His initiative of nesting members of his team with the ProTax business was instrumental in Professional Tax virtually eliminating customer complaints regarding delivery. I would recommend Mark highly to any company seeking a top notch leader of process and people.  An exceptional performer !”  ~  Howard Maymon, Vice President of Finance - Professional Tax Group, Intuit – Mark and his organization supported Howard and the ProTax management team at Intuit.

“I have worked with Mark for many years as a business partner delivering solutions to meet a variety of opportunities. Mark always approached each project in a collaborative manner to scope, engineer, and implement complex solutions to meet a variety of challenges. Management of all aspects of the business relationship across the partner base was an integral part of the Mark's approach. Whether it was strategic multi-year roadmapping, or contract negotiation or review of process flow, Mark's management of the various components and processes yielded results which consistently exceeded expectations. Whether they be goals for technology implementation, partner selection, production ramp, cost savings, process improvement, life cycle management, supply chain redesign, etc, all facets of the business were approached in a balanced and consistent manner. As a partner working with Mark and his team, it was always evident that he was able to effectively lead, manage, and inspire his teams to deliver solid performance. Upon entering a project, we always knew that with Mark success was not an option, it was going to be the result of our effective collaboration.” ~  Chris Manzione, Vice President Strategic Accounts, Technicolor – Chris supported Mark’s organization at Microsoft as a supply chain partner. 

“Mark is simply the best leader I've ever met. I've learned so much about myself and what it means to be a teammate in the last two years with Mark.  Mark put a cohesive team in place that has continued to function and deliver high performance long after Mark left the team.  He taught us how to resolve conflicts and how to develop talent at all levels in the organization.  Most importantly Mark let each of us on the team just show up as who we are and that has allowed us to be a calm, confident, and high performing team.  I really can't say enough about how much I respect Mark as a man.  As a leader, he is as real as you can get. He has the ability to make the tough decisions and also teach others how to make tough decisions on their own.  He's just a great talent!  I hope whoever reads this recommendation gets the privelege to work with Mark.” ~ Sal Webber, Director of Product Release Services, Intuit – Sal reported to Mark at Intuit.

“Mark has established a unique learning environment where it is safe to contribute ideas and different perspectives to a business solution.  He holds our direct staff to an extremely high standard with regard to leadership behaviors and expects us to lead by example, developing emerging leaders from the next levels.   Mark has also established an ecosystem in which we take responsibility for continuously working on our leadership skills while providing the very best professional support to ensure our success in that development.   Flawless execution and a long track record of simply achieving over and above expectations are the result of the focus on serving the overall team. Putting the team first is the cornerstone of the team's consistency.  Anchoring the DNA of the organization is Mark's philosophy on quiet leadership. Successfully achieving our customers' expectations and keeping our say/do ratio as high for them as possible is all the recognition we seek. Results do the talking.   I consider working under Mark's leadership a gift I will take with me no matter what I attempt in life. We are a disciplined, highly-collaborative organization because of his leadership.”  ~  Carlo Dimaisip, Process Excellence Leader, Intuit – Carlo reported to Mark at Intuit.

“Mark is a tremendous leader that can revolutionize and transform an organization. While at Intuit, Mark changed and touched so many lives, not only professional, but personally. I learned a lot about myself through Mark. Mark is all about the people and the team. The commitment and investment of time Mark spent on the Intuit organization was just incredible. I was very proud and honored to have such a great leader that was genuine and sincere. Mark's track record speaks for itself. Mark is simply a world class person. I highly recommend Mark for any business interest he may have.” ~ Vince Garcia, Business Line Manager, Intuit – Vince worked in Mark's organization at Intuit.

“Mark was a great business partner. He was very engaged in making improvements to the team and kept our department involved and informed. Mark is an experienced supply chain professional who can mix both the strategic and tactical to get the job done.”  ~  Dana Mason, Director of Sales Operations, Intuit – Mark and his organization supported Dana and her Sales Operations team at Intuit.

“This is a recommendation for Mark Roenigk, in my capacity as one of his former staff during his term as Vice President of the Supply Chain at Intuit. Mark was one of the best, if not the best, Vice Presidents we have ever had in our unit.  I am sure my colleagues will echo this same sentiment if they were asked. Mark was an extraordinary leader and manager.  He was not just very knowledgeable of the business but he also applied his management skills very well. He instituted many good changes in the Supply Chain.  He always emphasized the importance of good and open communication – both vertically and horizontally.  He encouraged everyone to achieve their full potential. One thing that he excelled at was showing and reaffirming how much he valued the members of his staff, at whatever level they were within the organization.  Mark also underscored the importance of working as a team. While he recognized each one of his staff for their individual skills and assets as employees, he often reminded everyone of the importance of building upon our strength as a group.  I know we became even more productive and became stronger as a group under his supervision.  One thing that is often overlooked by managers these days is the value of their workers’ personal or family lives.  Mark, however, believed in the fact that people who are able to achieve a happy balance between their personal and professional lives are in the end more productive workers.  He expected the highest quality of performance from his staff but at the same time, he encouraged us to ensure that we achieved a healthy work-life balance. He has put in place exceptional positive values that I hope we can keep for a long time.  Mark will absolutely be a great asset in any organization that he becomes a part of. The staff felt a significant loss when he left the company. I wish him all the best.” ~  Raquel Stephens, Product Administration Coordinator, Intuit - Raquel worked in Mark's organization at Intuit.

Mark is a great leader to work with and is the first manager I have ever had that I could also call "Mentor".  He leads by example and sets a high bar for his teams to execute with excellence every day.”  ~  Patrick Maiorano, Director, Business Planning & Development, Intuit – Patrick reported to Mark at Intuit.

“Mark Roenigk is a fair and honest business associate. His ability to recognize and react to strategic trends is matched to an equally strong tactical skill set to execute and drive positive change and deliver on committments. As a Tier One partner in Mark's supply chain, I felt respected and trusted. The ability to communicate good and bad results and discuss both types of results openly and candidly is a trait that I learned from Mark during this time period. I recommend Mark for the elements listed above and for the strength and leadership that he brings to an organization.”  ~  Frank Santistevan, Vice President, Supply Chain Management, StarTek, Inc – Frank supported Mark’s organization at Microsoft as a supply chain partner.

“Mark is a highly talented executive capable of successfully managing critical projects in many different operating environments. Mark is highly dedicated and professional in his approach and has proven to be a strong leader and motivater among both colleagues and business partners.” ~ John Town, Senior Vice President of R&D, Technicolor -  John supported Mark’s organization at Microsoft as a technology and supply chain partner.

“I worked with Mark Roenigk for many years at Compaq Corporation in Houston, and then Microsoft in Redmond. He is very strong in technical ability, processes, and people skills. I cannot put in writing how much I learned from him that helped me grow in my role. He was very tough yet fair, and the promise of more business if you could meet his stringent requirements. In 25 years at my company, I have never worked with a better person. He always puts 150% into everything he does. I highly recommend Mark for any leadership position as any company would be lucky to have him in their organization.”  ~  Karen Mauzey, Global Account Executive, GM Nameplate – Karen supported Mark’s organization as a supply chain partner.
