Review company-level records connected to Mark Kawar before choosing the right outreach path.
I've been helping businesses scale their operations for over 15 years. I started Up One Rung (UpOneRung.com) because I saw companies having the same problems over and over again as they grew out of their small business phase and needed to take their operations to the next level. I've helped companies create their first formal budget, their first C-suite dashboards, their first employee handbook, their first cybersecurity policies, and much more.I've hired hundreds of people, built budgets ranging from $1,000 to $100 million, and managed complex projects across multiple divisions at a Fortune 500 company. Most recently I onboarded and integrated 14 acquired companies over four years at a category-leading media and data company that had gone on an M&A spree. Do any of these challenges sound familiar to you? - Hiring takes forever because every hiring manager does things their own way. - The annual budgeting process is equal parts rationality and blind hope. - Employees go rogue because there aren’t clear policies for them to follow.Up One Rung can help. We specialize in creating order out of chaos. We’ve got a menu of services to help you put in place structure and process where you need it. You can book a free consultation at UpOneRung.com to talk through your issues. Or reach out directly: Mark@uponerung.com.
