About Mark Kottke
As a seasoned quality and lab operations professional, I bridge the gap between technical expertise and strategic leadership. I’ve supported complex chemical manufacturing environments from metals refining to polymers—managing high-volume labs, advancing ISO 17025 integration, and driving production alignment across operations, sales, and R&D. Whether it’s managing analytical teams, resolving non-conformances, overseeing capital improvements, or mentoring future leaders, I thrive in fast-paced, precision-driven environments. With a proven track record of cross-functional collaboration with various departments and business groups to ensure product quality, operational efficiency, and stakeholder communication, my work consistently delivers value to customers and supports sustainable growth.
