Mark Greatrix is a Systems Management | Infrastructure | Development | Team Building | Leadership. Colleagues describe him as "Mark is the best manager I've worked for. He's clear about goals and priorities, gives good advice for solving problems, and supports his team. I worked on a couple of high profile projects with him that had significant challenges due to bad timelines and initially poor specifications, and he worked tirelessly to align our team with management and the client to achieve the best possible outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend him." and "Dear Leader,
There is a VERY big difference between someone who manages and another who leads. The manager rarely can think strategically, and they take tactical tasks and drives others to execute to those exact parameters. A leader will analyze the strategic initiatives and empower others to contribute their excellence in the tactical execution.
Mark is in that critical space of leadership executives call the “D-level”. Directors get to convert strategy into tactical frameworks AND THEN WORK THEM! They truly get the BEST of both worlds. Like a chef who opens the restaurant only to train the next group of chefs. Hands-on long enough to teach and then backs off to lead.
The AI / Cognitive / Automation world we are in is dominated by buzzwords and marketectures filled to the hilt with people who THINK they KNOW what they are talking about. Mark – he BUILDS – the platforms and tools that connect solutions to the customers.
Working with Mark was a tremendous honor in that every conversation was focused on helping others get to the NEXT – whatever that was – THEN documenting at key points so the HOW was captured WHEN the WHO would be served.
I ask you fellow leader – what more do you need to hear to consider Mark Greatrix for your brand? 5 minutes on his LinkedIn or Resume will reveal a long-time team builder, developer, solutions architect and all-around master of their craft.
Should you require more discreet examples I happily welcome your query. If Mark is seeking to join your brand, I can attest he is absolutely worth the time to engage.
