“Mark takes time to understand what my needs are and what the company needs are, before he goes out and starts the search for people, and to find out the right people for our positions, what we’re looking for at the time. When I was hired into Mastercard, my first task was to rebuild the finance organization in Latin America. So Mark has done a number of searches with me. Probably one of the most successful searches was the Finance Head for Mexico, where he placed the person for me there, and that individual is actually up for promotion into a bigger role. Would I recommend Mark and his practice? Absolutely. The track record has been 100% with us. The proof is in the pudding. And so we’ve done a number of searches with Mark over the years, and on two separate occasions we took a chance and didn’t use Mark, and on both of those occasions it turned out to be disastrous. We’re convinced that the process that Mark has in place works, and it’s consistently worked.“
Ken Najour
Former SVP, Senior Financial Officer MasterCard International
“Mark is the best at representing us to all those with whom we engage during a search, and gains the trust of individuals to attract them to USG&E.“
Doug Marcille
Former CEO US Gas & Electric. Current CEO Aquarius Brands
“Mark “walks the walk“ of his signature line “make a difference“. In the time we have known each other, Mark offered extraordinary advice, guidance and specific recommendations on my own search process which helped me change career track and industry at a time when no one said it would be possible. His ability to “connect the dots“ and make his contacts and network work for you were unique amongst his competitors. Mark stands alone in the executive search world as a person with the highest integrity and most professional approach.“
Carlos Guzman
President, COO Global Franchise Brands
“Mark Sadovnick leads from his heart. He helps companies and founders to find Leaders Who Care® about the vision and purpose behind the businesses they are building and holistically addresses the search process to research and find excellent candidates. He then assists with the determination of best fit between the screened candidates and the organizational requirements as a whole. Thank you Mark, for a highly effective search process!“

“Mark actually gets to know the culture of the company, gets to know the environment that the individual will be working for, to make sure that there is a good fit for what he is searching for in a candidate. Mark’s service is very different, because it is very personal. I would definitely recommend Mark and his team. I’ve used Mark in the past, and I will continue to use him, and as I’ve mentioned before, he is an individual who is going to work and do anything he can to make sure you find the right person, not just any to complete the search.“
Marcio Cabrera
Managing Partner, Co-Founder at MBF Healthcare Partners
“I was a candidate of Mark’s, and stayed in contact with mark throughout the years, because of the advice he gave me as a candidate and then also as a company, he gave us advice. Then when I needed the services, I contacted him to help us find a Vice President of Acquisition. Mark brings more to the table than just a search, in terms of relationship, in terms of contacts. Yes, I have recommended Mark to others, and I have.“
Jon Garfield
Former CEO Clearant; CFO. (Client & Candidate)
“Mark has the tendency to make the relationship, between the client and what he does, seem almost seamless. Mark has helped us fill a number of different positions in Miami. Specifically, he helped us with some Accounting and Treasury based positions and has done a tremendous job for us. He is a very reliable resource. Mark and I have a very open relationship. If I have a question, a concern, or a need, I simply pick up the phone and speak with him, I don’t care where he is, he can be on West Coast or East Coast. Yes, the reason I would recommend Mark is that he takes the time to truly understand their clients. He puts himself on the inside, understands the business, understands what our needs are, and represents us well in the market.“
“The first step Mark takes which makes him unique is he gets a very good fix of what the job requirements are. If there are relocation issues, salary issues, or family and other issues: those are all resolved by the time they come to us. We needed to hire a person to represent our company in Florida, with our most important client, which is Burger King. And essentially, these would be people who would be out of the environments where careers in this field tend to develop. He was able to find us about 12-14 viable people. To be very frank with you, we tend to use Mark when we have very high-level, complex searches going on. He’s got a very good network of researchers. I would recommend Mark without a doubt.“
Duane Johnson
Former SVP HR, EMAK Worldwide
“Mark brings decades of multi-layered international expertise to the world of Executive Search and his ability to connect game-changing entrepreneurs, executives and entire chains of command to exactly the right place at the right time is second to none. As an international language service provider, we rely heavily on Mark’s forward-thinking to move our brand forward and to consistently be on the pulse of international business trends.“
Jason Gurvitz
CEO and Founder, World Language Communications
“Mark is truly a one of a kind professional and a superlative person that i am proud to call a colleague, mentor, and personal friend. His unique positive “go get ’em tiger“ approach to life is infectious and one cannot help but feel that he is a force of nature. His leadership skills are second to none as he is able to get the most disparate of groups into one vision and path, which is supported by amazing business acumen and ability to understand people, situations and that “hidden“ something most of us always wonder about. I have experienced firsthand his many professional capabilities in Search, Networking, Business & Relationship development, and Strategic positioning. Again, I can only say he is exceptional all around, and lives up to his mantra to “Make A Difference“.“
Fabrizio Busso-Campana

“Mark Sadovnick is the ultimate pro. His meticulous due-diligence and care for identifying quality candidates that not only fit the profile, but match the spirit of leadership required is unmatched. Both personally and professionally, I can recommend Mark without reservation.“
