  Mark A. Henne, CMTSE

  President

  Thirty years ago, when Mark started his first job in the machine tool industry, he had no idea that his career would take him around the world and lead him to entrepreneurship. He navigates the complexities of the industry and develops strategies for building authentic relationships through lessons he absorbed from his mentor Jack Dagg. Mark’s philosophy is customer-focused: he never sells a product, instead he connects customers to solutions. This philosophy and his decades of experience laid the groundwork for his founding of Marcus Machinery in 2009. With this customer-centered approach, he has expanded his distributorship from representing one builder in Western Pennsylvania to 5 builders in a multi-state Mid-Atlantic region. He attended the University of Pittsburgh and has continued his commitment to learning and professional development by earning his CMTSE in 2001. He continually engages in sales trainings and stays up to date on manufacturing trends and applications for emerging technologies.

   Mark loves golfing, cooking, baking, birdwatching, cheering on The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame and savors time with his family. Married for over 40 years, he and his wife Cheri enjoy traveling and being grandparents. Mark has always been community oriented and currently serves on the board of his HOA. As his kids were growing up Mark coached both their baseball and softball teams while developing programs for local athletic associations. The neighborhood ballpark commemorates his leadership and commitment to youth sports with a plaque honoring both him and his late father.

  Cheri A. Henne

  Operations Manager

  Cheri has been Mark’s partner at Marcus Machinery since its 2009 inception, and his life partner since 1979. The thread of entrepreneurship has been weaving through her life as she grew up with a family business, and previously owned a successful deli and catering company with Mark in the late 90s. Cheri has known of Mark’s vision for his own company since he started in manufacturing, and she’s excited to be part of the culmination of this decades-long dream. In making decisions for the growth and success of Marcus Machinery, Cheri’s detail-oriented approach and methodical planning skills are the perfect balance to Mark’s big picture thinking and visionary ideas.

  In addition to her entrepreneurship, Cheri’s previous work experience include general management for La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries where she was recognized for exceeding sales goals and superior customer service. She also provided her sales, customer service, and design skills at Pier One Imports and Pottery Barn. Cheri’s degree in architectural drafting and love of interior design make her the perfect fit for managing Marcus Machinery’s look and brand, from overseeing the development of their logo and website, to the design of marketing material.

  Cheri enjoys experiencing new places, time in nature, exercise walking, meditation, deep conversations, and anything related to design. She also loves any activity that includes time spent with Mark, their children and spouses, and her granddaughter Ava.
