I’ve worked with many great businesses over the years from startup through to multi billion dollar Fortune 500 companies and met so many amazing leaders along the way. I’ve been privileged to be able to help many of them. Here’s a small selection of what some of them say about working with me.
When you see someone with Mark’s background I think it is reasonable to have very high expectations. After working directly with Mark (sorry Mark, totally setting a crazy bar here), he exceeded my very high expectations in every way. His work product demonstrated his absolute mastery of digital marketing and the latest nearbound and inbound strategies. He was a joy to work with and never made us feel bad for the mistakes we might have made. And maybe most importantly, he met us where we were in our company evolution, making recommendations and identifying strategies that we could execute immediately.

Though Mark and I worked at Salesforce, I only met him recently. I engaged Mark Stanley via Ohana Operators after hearing great reviews from references. Mark performed a strategic marketing assessment for Outset, and his work was impeccable. Mark’s experience with all things marketing, especially inbound, was evident. He learned our business quickly and delivered a fantastic set of recommendations. I was particularly pleased with the detailed organization of the recommendations, which allowed my team to take immediate action. I cannot recommend Mark highly enough, and I look forward to working with him again!

I have known Mark for 15+ years and he is one of the very best professionals to work with that I have met. He is a skilled leader who always looks to view solutions instead of problems. His hands-on approach, calm demeanor and friendly personality wins him the respect of his partners, his team, his peers, and top leadership every time.

As a mentor, Mark was a major support to me when I had to make career development decisions and when transitioning to people management in 2021. Since 2021 we are in an official mentoring relationship, and I would not be where I am in my career without Marks advice, constructive feedback and guidance
