People really like Mark. He has his finger on the pulse of what makes a business "tick," both from a growth and a personnel standpoint. Very open to feedback as well.
Mostly positive thoughts about the CEO. He has a great understanding of business, is easy to communicate with and is vested in our success as teammates. He is a leader, not a micromanaging project manager that I've seen at most companies I have worked for in the past.
