Mark edited an academic journal article for me on German family firm governance. He was an incredible collaborator, not just doing the copy-editing you would get from a regular editor but truly engaging with the content of my work. He made many invaluable suggestions for improving the flow of the argument and I am extremely grateful for the time he took to help this project to success.
