MEET MARK RICHARDSON AS PRESENTER, FACILITATOR, PODCAST HOST & GUEST

It’s a rare person who can both put a CEO at ease to share their personal journey and command the attention of an auditorium full of conference attendees gathered to think about questions impacting their world. Mark Richardson is one of those people.

He has a reputation as an authentic voice who quickly gets to the heart of matters and piques people’s interest and openness to new ideas. With Mark, “Curiosity is King.”

With a successful career spanning the private, public and non-profit sectors – in addition to his current work as an entrepreneur – he is adept at quickly grasping the main points and “speaking the language” of audiences of all kinds. A Man of Many Hats.

Mark Richardson makes stuff happen. The rooms he works, as a presenter and a facilitator, begin to come alive. Minds open, ideas flow. Participation begets results. He is skillful and knowledgeable and he engages his panelists and his audiences in ways that educate and entertain.

Mark’s years of experience building and guiding talent, advising businesses and working in both public and private sectors show in his smooth, fluid style and his ability to connect the dots that lead to understanding and new ways of thinking. I did a variation of what Mark does for 30 years. I admire and respect how he does it and the stuff that happens when he does.
— NEIL HEINEN, Former Editiroal Director, Madison Magazine and WISC-TV
Mark’s superb moderation of our business breakfast conversations is a defining strength of the series, which we call “Cap Times Power Hour, Where Wisconsin CEOs Speak.” Mark is able to put our speakers at ease and always does his homework. He asks revealing and provocative questions with a joie de vivre that entertains our audiences and makes the one-hour program fly by. It is a special skill, and we are thrilled to work with Mark.
— PAUL FANLUND, PUBLISHER, The Capitol Times
Mark’s ability to guide the conversation, keep it engaging, pivot when needed and ensure all panelists had a chance to contribute was exceptional. He struck the perfect balance between assertiveness and diplomacy, making the discussion insightful and enjoyable for the audience.
