About Mark Sander

I am a strategy and business development leader with 30+ years experience generating transformation and profitable growth in diverse, global businesses. I am known for launching stalled companies on their journeys to bold futures. What I do best is creating shared commitment as a basis for accelerating critical thinking, action, and learning. I then catalyze results by strategically aligning planning, operational, business development, finance, human capital, and information systems.I have led or co-led four company transformations. The first was Magma Copper, for which I created the strategic planning, ore reserves, R&D, and very successful exploration programs, as well as teamed on two successful acquisitions. Magma created and locked in $2B in value over 6 years, the best investment Warburg Pincus had made to that time. The second company was BHP Copper, at the time the world's largest private sector copper company. As VP Strategy & Planning, I revolutionized understanding of the copper business leading to a major restructuring ($2 billion in assets) and co-led the resulting asset sale process. The third engagement, with Greene, Tweed, a manufacturer of components for diverse, high technology industries, demonstrates my ability to generate change outside my area of content expertise. As “Bold Future” Instigator & Coordinator and later Director of Strategic Planning, Performance, & Learning, I led the breakthrough initiative that shifted the company from a $180 million/yr business that had reached the limits of its small company heritage to a rapidly growing $300 million organization with the strategy, people, and processes in place to sustain profitable growth into the future. Finally, since 2009 I have been engaged in creating and growing Mandalay Resources, a gold-silver mining company with three operations producing an annual 165,000 oz gold equivalent as of 2016. Having raised only $33 million in equity, the market cap has grown to >$350 million.Specialties: * Transformational Leadership* Balanced Scorecard* Strategic Planning * Enterprise Performance Management* Corporate Development (buy side and sell side)* Portfolio Management* Post-Merger Integration (buy side and sell side)* Stage Gating* Mining Exploration * Ore Reserve Estimation* Exploration Management* Ore Reserve Management
