Mark Brown: Leadership, Teamwork, and Facility Management Excellence

Mark Brown, the Facilities Manager at National Gypsum, brings over a decade of experience in the facility management industry to his role, where he oversees the day-to-day efficiency and functionality of a large corporate building. With a background in entrepreneurship—he previously owned his own landscaping business—Mark’s leadership style is one of teamwork and empowerment. He places a strong emphasis on supporting his team, providing them with the resources and knowledge to succeed, and fostering a collaborative atmosphere that drives the success of the facility as a whole.

A dedicated family man and baseball enthusiast, Mark spends his free time coaching his young child, applying the same principles of teamwork and mentorship that he brings to his role in facilities management. Unlike some common misconceptions of facility managers as just “maintenance guys,” Mark describes the responsibilities as much broader, including ensuring the smooth operation of a building that supports the work of 200-300 employees every day. His goal is to create an environment where each team member can do their best, an approach rooted in the belief that great facilities management is not a solo act but a collective effort.

Mark’s background in running his own business has given him a hands-on, proactive approach to managing the complexities of his current role. His deep understanding of responsibility and team support makes him an invaluable asset to his company, ensuring that every aspect of the building—from maintenance to efficiency—functions optimally for the people it serves.
