Mark Ben Thuku is a Pastoral Assistant at North Point Baptist Church, Nairobi at The Upnote. Colleagues describe him as "Mark Ben is a natural born, gifted leader. He possesss the gift of influence and vision in a very remarkable manner. In this particular role, he was able to rally, organise and inspire the teams that he led. He was given at a heart level to their wellbeing and the accomplishment of the goals, and was able to apply his leadership, organizational and problem-solving skills to continually optimise his team and their agendas and output with notes of excellence. His input and presence to any team or agenda he was a part of was deeply felt - he could ably handle his areas of responsibility. He was meaningful to a lot of the success we experienced as a leadership team and ministry." and "I have worked under the leadership of Mark Ben for over 5 years. During this time, he taught me the basics of setting up processes to facilitate the elicitation of feedback in the organization. His leadership style is unrivaled as he fostered an environment of open communication, continuous feedback and mutual respect. I particularly admired how he championed a project that brought together hundreds of young people and propelled them towards the realization of who they are, what they have and what they can do. I highly recommend him without any reservation, as his strategic leadership would be a great addition to any firm."
