Coming Changes

Hi Paul,

I want to reach out to you personally first to say thank you for everything you've done for me these past few weeks. You've demonstrated an openness and flexibility that anyone would be hard pressed to find at any other company, and I appreciate all the time you've devoted to me.

That said, it makes it incredibly difficult for me to say that despite the anticipation of positive changes to the team and culture here at Starcom, I have decided to go with a new opportunity elsewhere. That's not to say that I discount anything we discussed yesterday, as the possibility of these great things to come here in the New York office has made staying here very tempting. However, and I understand that some things are out of our control, I don't feel there was a tangible enough timeframe for these promises. Personally, I am in need of a change that is more immediate, and I have been able to find an opportunity for this change elsewhere.

I will draft a formal resignation letter tomorrow. I appreciate everything I have been able to learn from everyone I have been involved with here at Starcom, and I hope the best for you, the GE team, and everyone else as well.

Best Regards,
Mark
