Mark began his career in 1985 at Arthur Andersen & Co. in their Audit Practice where he achieved the position of Manager.  He then joined DDB in 1990 and served in a variety of roles at the corporate headquarters culminating as the Director of Worldwide Finance.

He was one of the key architects of the design of OMD’s network infrastructure, creating a vision for bringing together OMD’s separate assets around the world into a strong, functioning global organization.

In 2002, Mark was appointed CFO of OMD Worldwide to help guide the operational and financial implementation of this plan, which included a complete restructuring its operations.  In 2005, with the announcement of the expansion of PHD as a global network, Mark was promoted to CFO of Omnicom Media Group, once again overseeing all of the media-related assets within Omnicom, including OMD Worldwide, PHD Worldwide, Novus Print Media, ICON International, Full Circle Entertainment, Outdoor Media Group, Resolution Media and Singer Direct.
