Trusted Advisor: From his graduation from MIT and his MBA degree from Georgetown University, his marriage and family, to his struggles and triumphs as a businessman, Mark has grown into the trusted advisor he is today.
Business Owner: Over the past 30+ years, Mark van Stolk has owned three businesses. Under his leadership one of these companies, Calaveras Trading & Investments, LLC, was ranked seventh in five-year performance worldwide in 2001. In 2004, that company was also selected small business of the year by the local Chamber of Commerce.
Man With The Plan: Throughout his career, Mark has been recognized as “the man with the plan”, who could lead his team through resolving almost any challenge or problem. He is best known for his ability to quickly focus-in on the core issues and then develop and implement plans that reach their goals.
Effective Coach: While working for an ocean shipping company in the New York area, Mark spearheaded the development and implementation of "Total Quality Management" and coached and trained at least 12 “Process Improvement Teams” in the areas of strategic planning, operations, human resource management, etc., reducing overhead in the office by more than $500,000 in the first year alone, while greatly increasing efficiency.
Active In Community: Mark is active in St. George’s Church, the Kiwanis, the Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Germantown, Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce, BNI and the Tornado Alley Sailing Club. In addition, he is a member of and is licensed by the Professional Business Coaches Alliance (an international cooperative and an unequaled resource for business coaches).
Involved Parent: Being a business owner, Mark was able to find the time necessary to be an involved father. Not surprisingly, sharing the parenting of twin daughters with his wonderful wife Lise is what Mark believes to be the real achievement in his life. Heather and Courtney, both students at Vanderbilt University, are delightful, very bright and well rounded young ladies. Whether singing in choirs at Vanderbilt or their Church, creating beautiful crafts, writing and illustrating a children’s book, teaching SAT/ACT prep, or just goofing off around the house – the twins are the light of their Dad’s life.
