Maestro-level Leaders Founder Partners with The Sage Group
April 2025 - The Sage Group®, the architects of the Path to Value™ methodology for driving personal, professional and corporate value announced a strategic partnership with Mark L. Vincent, founder and former director of Maestro-level Leaders.
The partnership recognizes and leverages Vincent’s extensive and recognized global practice on business continuity and succession focused on founders, owners, and CEOs.
“Mark has been a trusted advisor to leaders across markets”, said Ron Worman, founder and managing director of The Sage Group. “Our Path to Value™ methodology for integrating the owner’s personal, professional, and organizational journey is inextricably connected to creating sustainable and experiential wealth, for employees, customers, suppliers, and leaders. Mark will be key in shepherding their next right steps.”
“Mark has been an innovator of cutting-edge process consulting, leadership and culture, and purpose driven owners who seek a path to value”, said Dr. Daniel Hallak, strategic advisor and partner with The Sage Group.
A Process Consultant and Systems Convener, Mark established Design Group International, which later launched The Society for Process Consulting. During his years running these companies, while also engaging a practice as a Process Consultant, Systems Convener, and Executive Advisor, his client work led to over 900 engagements, many of which focused on client business continuity and succession planning. This led to the launch of Maestro-level Leaders, a peer-based advising cohort for long-time executives who want to be strategic and planful about future value, succession, and legacy.
"Many of the savvy and accomplished leaders in these cohorts and among my clients are in the throes of a value event,” said Vincent. “How they journey through this path to value determines the continuity of the business and the success of their successors beyond their time in the driver's seat. I will now be working with The Sage Group to ensure senior team effectiveness and develop and track how value is built; personally, professionally, and organizationally.”
This alliance of Strategic and Executive Advising intends to expand and accelerate the results of what The Sage Group and Mark L. Vincent offer their clients.
