Mission Ready Solutions Inc. (“
Mission Ready” or
the “
Company”) (
TSXV: MRS) is
pleased to announce the appointment of Buck Marshall as President
and Chief Executive Officer (“
CEO”) of the
Company, effective immediately. To facilitate this change,
James Marks has relinquished his role as interim Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, and concurrently been appointed to the
position of Chairman (“
Chairman”) of the Company’s
board of directors (the “
Board”), effective
immediately. James Marks joined the Company’s board of directors in
June 2018 and has been instrumental in the Company’s forward
development, most recently lending his expertise as CEO on an
interim basis. Management wish to express their sincere
appreciation to Mr. Marks for his unwavering dedication to the
Company, and welcome him in his new capacity as Chairman of the
Board.
James Marks, Chairman of Mission Ready, states
“The Mission Ready team is very excited to welcome Buck Marshall
aboard as President and CEO. Buck brings far more to Mission Ready
than the sum of his many professional talents and successes; he has
the character and values of a thoughtful, energetic servant-leader.
We won when we found Buck, and he agreed to lead us forward.”
Mr. Marshall brings an impressive history of
high-level management experience to the Company, including 16 years
of service within the commercial banking industry. During the past
12 years, Mr. Marshall has worked in tandem with U.S. Small
Business Administration (SBA) lending groups – through which he has
developed an intimate knowledge of SBA programs – equipping him to
efficiently navigate the credit standards and requirements for
working with the US Government, and to leverage the specific
programs available to enable small businesses to gain access to
capital when conventional access is limited.
Most recently, as Market President of Northwest
Bank (“Northwest”), Mr. Marshall worked alongside
Northwest’s board of directors and division managers to develop
policies and procedures that would ensure the successful
realization of its long-term growth strategies and corporate
vision. Additionally, Mr. Marshall presided over a significant
restructuring and strategic turnaround within Northwest, while
growing the team over a geographically dispersed region. As the
primary contact for all interactions with the U.S. Small Business
Administration for exams/audits, program changes and delegated
authority renewals, Mr. Marshall introduced and implemented a host
of operational improvements using lean methodologies to drive
efficiency and reduce costs.
A member of the National Association of
Government Guaranteed Lenders (NAGGL), Mr. Marshall holds a
communications degree from Eastern Washington University and
multiple specialized banking-industry certifications including a
Certified Lenders Diploma. Mr. Marshall has helped hundreds of
small businesses get the capital needed to grow their companies.
Mr. Marshall’s extensive nation-wide network of banking
professionals provide for coveted access to a wide range of
resources including government-guaranteed lending programs and
conventional credit opportunities.
Mr. Marshall places a high value on the creation
and implementation of effective and efficient policies and
procedures that positively impact morale and productivity.
Consistently recognized for improving operational efficiencies
through innovative and logical approaches that ultimately reflect
positively on the bottom line, Mr. Marshall excels in aligning a
company’s organizational objectives with their corporate vision,
building revenue streams, achieving profitable growth, facilitating
team collaboration, and developing integrated strategies.
