Meet Our Team

MISSON RELAY

Mission Relay is a faith-based, kingdom-driven leadership transition firm. We work with nonprofit organizations, mission-minded companies, churches, and leaders. Our passion is stewarding your mission through the entire transition process.

Learning that nearly 50% of organizational transitions fail within 18 months was shocking. Having experienced the impacts of both positive and negative transition processes, we were convinced this is solvable. So, we did the research and began working with organizations. We then created a repeatable model that works.

It was during his successful transition from that role Mark became passionate about guiding leaders, boards, and organizations through the transition process.
