Bill McDonald

In the early 2000's Mark led his company to its first sale to a private equity buyer and learned how to present one's business in the best possible light from the buyer's perspective. For the next seven years Mark gained the perspective of how to purchase other businesses as part of a national and international build out strategy. Following the ultimate sale of that company to a global holding company, another leading Washington, DC agency brought Mark in to execute a similar strategy, where within three years he achieved a doubling of revenue and tripling of profit. Mark brings the unique perspective of being both a seller and a buyer, and appreciates that value can only be created by assuring that all parties win.
