Combining his passion for auto racing, Mark and his wife, Lisa, formed F4S, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit that provides ethical leadership videos through a high-quality and relevant educational curriculum that highlights respected leaders who have an in-depth story to tell about their own challenges and experiences in corporate ethical behavior.

In addition, he co-chaired the business operating committee overseeing global energy banking efforts. Following the market disruption of Enron in 2002, Mark was promoted to Industry Head of Energy where he both led and oversaw Scotia’s overall energy business, which has grown significantly with the acquisitions of global M&A advisor Waterous, UBS’ North American commodity trading business, U.S. equity firm Howard Weil, and subsequent international expansions outside North America.

Bush, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, and Governor Rick Perry.
