Background

About Mark Jackson

I am a strategic, driven, and focused professional with a seasoned sales/operations management background, a history of optimizing and scaling operational workflows, and a talent for aligning teams around common goals. My experience providing sales leadership, vision, and operational oversight for multiple high-profile organizations; upholding high standards of operational excellence in all organizational activities; managing a suite of projects and strategic initiatives to enhance organizational agility and revenue potential; and carefully shaping the processes and policies that sustain an efficient, productive, and highly competitive organization. I am a supportive team leader with a strong ability to take charge of projects, train and empower others, and motivate those around me to do their best work. I believe a leader’s primary duty is to cultivate, professionally develop, and grow confidence in his team. I have the ability, expertise, and coaching skills to drive my team to success. I believe that people function best when their leadership strikes a careful balance between hands-on management and laisser-faire oversight. I think people should be given room to work creatively, make mistakes, and build on the knowledge gained from their efforts. After 23+ years in business, I have learned to perfect that delicate balance between autonomy and accountability. I have the communication skills to clearly articulate my vision, persuade people to take action, and get the ball rolling in the right direction. Whether I’m sending out emails, communicating with a team member, presenting to a crowd, or anything in between; I communicate quickly, accurately, and effectively.
