Originally from NY (the accent occasionally leaks out), Mark moved to Chicago in 1994. A year later Zookbinders went live, producing high-end Wedding and Mitzvah albums. After 15 years of strong growth, the impact of digital photography reduced the demand for tangible physical products, and Zookbinders sought innovative ways to reduce cost by outsourcing back-office work starting in 2011.
Today, the company has more office employees in the Philippines than in Deerfield, which led to him co-founding an outsource staffing company. In addition to supporting Zookbinders with 15+ employees, MCVO Talent supports other US businesses looking to reduce costs. The most common placements are in Accounting, Customer Service, Marketing, Website Design, IT and many more functions. They also support many Pro Photography and Videography businesses with photo editing, color correction and album design functions.
