  • “We had some very difficult and even dire times at Nitro in 2005-2006. Mark was there on a daily basis helping put the company back on a path to success. His insightfulness, business acumen and courage to ask the really hard question played a key role in Nitro going from near bankruptcy to a successful 9 figure exit in 5 years.”
