Mark Ragland
Mark Ragland has just entered his 10th. year in the Executive Search field. He began under the watchful eye of one of the country's top talents in Financial Search, learning one by one the nuances of client and candidate relationships. Within 2 years, Mark began acquiring his own client base, gaining market expertise in the Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Consumer Product, and Supply Chain industries.
In 2001, Mark began broadening his talent acquisition expertise by conducting searches not only in Finance and Accounting, but also in Operational Management, Marketing & Sales, and C-Level Executive Search. Later in that year, he opened his own firm to put his signature style into his searches. Within a few years, after building a retained search practice that exceeded the abilities of a one-person operation, he sold his book of business outright, and joined forces with SearchPath International. After seeing the great needs in the emerging Bio-Fuels industry, SearchPath became the logical choice in terms of where to direct his energies.
Mark holds a BA in Management from Judson University .
“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” Calvin Coolidge
