Founder and Operator
VanJobs.com
(Human Resources industry)
1991 — Present (18 years )
Expertise in staffing high growth start-ups requiring a capacity to aggressively learn new technologies. I identify, secure and team with the absolute elite contributors of research and development, systems engineering, business development and risk tolerant "C" level executives while remaining inclusive to the importance off "softer skilled" contributors throughout all successful organizations.
Was privileged to assist successful high growth companies including; Sierra Wireless, Zeugma Systems, Client Side Devices (morphed -> Vienna Systems -> now Nokia), Teradici, Siara Systems (morphed -> Redback Networks, now Ericsson), Convedia ->now Radisys) while intimately involved with the people and success of "foundation companies" such as Glenayre, MPR, Nortel, Sun Microsystems, Newbridge, Oracle, GEAC, Data General, Motorola, IBM and Microsoft.
Paradoxically, the more complex the assignment often will result in a more efficient deliverable. One must lust for challenge :-) -
Managing Partner
The Silicon Network (Toronto)
(Human Resources industry)
1988 — 1991 (3 years )
Partner with responsibility for overall business development, staffing agreements and employee management. Successfully solicited and serviced large technology companies across Ontario (IBM, Fujitsu, NEC, Rogers Networks, Sun Microsystems, Digital Equipment, Oracle, GEAC)
Specialization(s) in technical staffing, consulting, support personnel and C level placements. Design strategic advertising and recruitment campaigns and deliver presentations to motivate and inform personnel from diverse backgrounds, jobs, and experiences.
Mark Strong’s Education
-
Simon Fraser University
B.A. , Economics / Business , 1980 — 1984
SFU Profs Don DeVoretz & James Dean (amongst many others) taught how to decipher and conceptualize what has been and then adapt, modify and apply dynamic transformations to attempt to identify and understand economic transformation and trends. It was all very, very well worth it.
- Activities and Societies:
- Fast skiing, Paragliding (WCSC), diving (NAUI), back country snowmobiling and living with arguably the best dog in the world: "Cuervo", the non-shedding assistant who never calls in sick nor stays out late. To enjoy a home cooked meal in the company of smart, funny friends is perhaps the epitome of my personal contentment.
Treat all with respect and understand that every assignment is as unique as the individuals. Affirm that it is our differences that strengthen us all.
