Mark J. Komen, founder and President of Kodyne, Inc., brings a wealth of large corporate and small business experience to his work as a management consultant and business coach.

As such, Mark has worked with managers and executives in numerous industries, both for-profit and non-profit, to help them understand how their leadership drives their organizations.
As a coach, Mark helps business leaders explore how the pieces of their businesses fit together: their work culture, their strategic direction, their plans, their processes and their employee development approaches, to name a few. As a consultant, he works with individuals and teams to improve their personal and organizational effectiveness.

He has over 30 years of engineering design, project leadership and functional management experience in the electronics and manufacturing industries.

Mark and his associates take a systems view of organizations, understanding the links between people, process and technology. Our approach is aimed at improving organizational effectiveness by strengthening leadership at every level. To that end, we have the experience and insight to examine every piece of an organization, from the customer experience to fulfillment and all points in between. Beyond the people systems that power your organization, we can look at your financial, sales, marketing, operations, human resources, and business processes to see if they are in alignment with where you are taking your organization. And if you’re not sure what that picture looks like, our strategic planning process will help you clarify that too.
