Colleagues describe him as "I highly recommend Mark Hoskins. He came into our MD of Europe leadership position right after we had a plant transfer go pear-shaped (between his acceptance and start date). Mark did not flinch on this challenge. He grasped it right away. Of course, we both wanted him focused on strategy, growth, and innovation, but he immediately moved to address the situation and prioritized the plant recovery ahead of other activities. He engaged on the matter, helped drive it to resolution and made us a better company than we were before the transfer. Mark is a strong leader of teams and has an innate sense of how to grow sales. Moreover, Mark showed a very elegant velvet glove (and otherwise when needed) with his distribution partners as well as his direct sales team. Clearly Mark could have served in the FCO (Foreign and Commonwealth Office) should he have so desired. Finally, Mark has also focused on ensuring our offerings in the marketplace are updated as he invests in innovation and product development across the forward five-years to keep our Company and our products relevant to purchasers and end-users. In sum, Mark is fearless, tireless and one focused on balancing the future needs of the business against the current needs for performance for ALL stakeholders " and "Mark is an excellent people leader and manager. I worked for him for a couple of years and with him in various other roles. Throughout these times, Mark was always someone whom I highly respected. A true professional whom conducted himself impeccably at all times and was an example to those who worked for him and with him. He has a broad skill set, is very balanced/thoughtful in his decisions and provides positive and useful feedback consistently. He is definitely one of the most outstanding leaders, and mentors that I have ever worked for and with. An extremely likeable guy also."
