Mark P. Friedman founded FastGrowth Advisors™ (FGA) to help clients drive breakout growth by building sustainable competitive advantage. His FASTLANE and ROADMAPP processes have created hundreds of millions of dollars of new business for a broad range of companies. Not surprisingly, about two-thirds of FGA’s clients come from referrals and repeat business.

Mark has been driving business growth for more than a quarter century. After earning an MBA in Marketing from University of Chicago, he learned his craft during nearly a decade in global brand management with Procter & Gamble and three years as an entrepreneur. Since then, he has managed, coached, and consulted for a broad range of categories, including fishing tackle, ice cream, health supplements, electronics, sustainability, medical equipment, and software – everything from startups to nonprofits to multi-billion dollar market leaders.

Mark brings clarity to complex situations, acting as business mentor to help clients win in the real world by balancing strategy, innovation, marketing, leadership, leverage, insight, and executional excellence. He emphasizes the importance of staying true to one’s vision and values, finding both  fun and purpose in work, and continuously creating value for customers. He regularly invests in developing new skills, including programs with FranklinCovey, Authentic Leadership, Center of Executive Coaching, Arbinger Institute, and Institute for Business Growth.

Mark lives in Boulder with his wife (health & nutrition coach Joelle Friedman), two daughters, and dog.
