MARK GOLDBERG
ACCOUNTING MANAGER
With a degree from Miami of Ohio in Finance and many years of experience in building client relationships, Mark brings a strong sense of professionalism and strategy to the CL team. Mark has managed budgets and projects for several Fortune 500 companies, and he always has his clients’ budgets top of mind.
When Mark is not working, he is ferociously peddling away on his Peloton and dreaming about all the calories he can consume at the best restaurants in Raleigh, North Carolina - talk about a #foodsnob. On Sundays, you can find him glued to the TV in his man cave, drinking a Bourbon or a glass of Spanish Tempranillo while watching his favorite team, the Cleveland Browns. Go Brownies!
