1. E-MAIL TRANSMISSION
May 2008
To Whom It May Concern:
For the past five years, Mark Lyons has been my colleague at Technomic. In that time,
we have collaborated on a number of engagements, shared various ideas and executed
plans aimed at helping our customers gain or sustain a competitive market edge in the
food industry.
As a project manager, I frequently looked to Mark for assignments that required a quick
turnaround but necessitated little instruction. For instance, recently a major client
requested a one-day return on a survey instrument aimed at the broker community. I was
traveling on this occasion, but knew I could count on Mark for meeting this critical
deadline. He not only wrote the survey instrument, but completed the interviews prior to
the deadline.
As a self-starter and team player, Mark has an open attitude and asks the necessary
questions with respect to each engagement. He would be an excellent fit for any
organization seeking an immediate “contributor.”
Very truly yours,
Tim Powell
