Colleagues describe him as "Mark was my manager at Kraft Foods for 4 years, until the company separated and he went to Mondelez International. I could not have asked for a better leader and mentor. Mark embodied all of the qualities I find to be rare these days in excellent leaders. Mark always took a proactive role in my growth as a project manager and a leader. He always struck the right balance between gentle guidance and clear direction. He was always frank and honest with everything - especially with his feedback. While always staying positive and constructive, Mark never suger-coats the truth. I found that to be refreshing and invaluable for my development and career growth. Mark was a great mentor to me and I learned a great deal of business acumen and how to navigate the “gray areas”. He easily engenders trust and respect from all who work with him. Mark is a leader who truly cares about the people he leads and works hard to make sure they are outstanding in whatever they achieve. I strongly recommend Mark!" and "I had the pleasure to work closely on virtually a daily basis for over two years with Mark at Kraft Foods. Together we ran one of the largest most challenging initiatives for Kraft Foods, I was on the Service provider side (Altria) as Senior Project Manager and Mark was the Senior Manager for the Kraft Program on the Kraft Foods side. It was because of Mark Barash that during the two years I matured into honing and perfecting my Program Management and Account Relationship Management skillset that I've used as a Program Manager while EDS and currently as Engagement Manager at Sound Advice. Mark allowed me to lead, he trusted me, he listened, he never micro managed us. He remained cool and decisive in all stressful escalations. He kept us up to date on what was current, what was short term and what was long term for the program. He was a great communicator. It was a privilege both knowing and working with him.
