Having worked with Mark Bennett for a number of years, I am very happy to endorse Mark for any Non-Executive roles he is being considered for. Mark on a global level with Konecranes was responsible for and successfully implemented Konecranes Business Systems (KBS). In this role, he was responsible for the global leadership, development and coordination of KBS that provided a framework to connect the whole organisation together globally, to drive the achievement of business strategy and goals. He also took the global governance role of the development of the global MD network. On a personal level, I found Mark to be very inspiring leader, focused on developing others and possessing outstanding interpersonal skills. Mark has a very democratic leadership style, empowering his team members to take charge and for them to use their strengths to emerge as leaders themselves. He is excellent at conflict resolution, negotiations and cross-cultural communications, a man of high ethical standards, empathy and integrity. He has excellent skills in board leadership in organisations.
