Mark gave us an inspired presentation on his career, business endeavours and challenges and with a highlight on his success most recently at DS TECHEETAH.  We appreciated very much his honest and transparent insights on the managerial and leadership elements behind his successes, as well as equally his learnings from the challenges along the way.  There are incredible learnings for us to take away from his presentation and Q&A as managers, for which we are very appreciative.  I would highly recommend also that other Divisions in TotalEnergies consider having Mark present to them in similar forums and seminars.
