Mark spent more than a decade in auditing and transaction advisory services with two Big Four firms, where he gained extensive experience in private equity. That led to his recruitment for controllership positions with two private equity-backed healthcare companies—most recently at GoHealth, a $1 billion health insurance comparison platform for which he led the accounting and finance department through a successful IPO offering in under six months. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he continues to be a guest lecturer on technical accounting topics. He is a CPA in Illinois.
