Grow your business beyond its potential.
Hi, I’m Mark Maynard. I’m a business advisor who grows new and established businesses through strategy, operations, culture, and customer experience.
Establish an unbreakable business foundation.
With 30 years’ experience conceptualizing, building, managing, and leading businesses for Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, I help businesses get unstuck, create change, and achieve what seems unachievable. When we work together, I unify teams and leaders by creating a shared vision of what’s possible—then implement the structure and systems to bring that vision to life.
My specialties bring purpose, strategy, and action to businesses.
