Obrigado

Mark, your knowledge and kindness are unparallel. It's sad to see you go when there was so much to learn from you. Either way, we both know that you will go on to achieve even greater things in the future (and hopefully learn even more Portuguese!)

Warmest regards, Joao

Thank you, Mark!

Your kindness and politeness, combined with your great knowledge has left quite the impression in the brief moments we spoke. It is not always that we manage to meet special colleagues such as yourself and, for that, I consider myself lucky.

I wish you all the best on all your future endeavors!

With kind regards,
Vitor

You Optimized our Baseline

Mark - I have truly loved being your colleague over the last few years - not only for your superlative work on Segue, Sorba, and more recently Systems & Applications, but also for your thoughtfulness, philosophical nature, and broader intelligence. I'm so glad we got to spend some personal time together during travels. Thank you for everything, and you will be missed! - Adam

Gracias, Mark!

Hey there!
I have learned a lot of things while working with you but the ones I will remember the most are your candid way of asking questions, your curiosity and your way of thinking, both structured and free at the same time.
You are that team member that always brings energy to the table (sometimes in the form of a tsunami, which I love!). I know your new path will be successful and fullfilling as it was yours here.
Loved your Spanish and how you intertwined it during our conversations.
See you around this round world of us!
Pao

Thanks Mark!!

Hey Mark, thanks for all the time that we spent in the work together, it was really good to work and talk with you. I was impressed with how quickly you learned about the product and how we can count on you for the job.

I hope that I can see you around this world in the future

Your Portuguese is great also.

Best of all for you.
Giba.

Obrigado

Mark,

It's been wonderful getting to work with you. I think that I speak for everyone that you will be missed tremendously. Even the kitchen staff at GHQ will miss the guy questioning whether or not the vegetarian soup was in fact vegetarian soup! You have opened my eyes to the fact that chicken stock can and will be used for vegetarian options; this is something I will never forget!

All the best mate!

Hey Mark !
Been a good many years that we have worked together on various projects, with some good fun and great laughter. Life is but a puppy, go out there and rock the world - as you always have. Wishing you the best on the next path in life and your career.

Cheers
Denise

It was nice to know you

2023-10-19 07:50:21 UTC

Hey Mark,
we didn't had the pleasure to meet a lot, but I loved the way you expressed your thoughts, your key comments and expressions.
Have a lot of success in your new journey, who knows we will meet again.
Anyway, thank you for your nice contribution to the company and Supply Transformation especially.
All the best

Johan

Se te echará de menos maestro

It's been a real pleasure having worked with you Mark. I've learned many things from you and I can certainly confirm that you have had an immense contribution to many successes of our products and projects, through your expertise, hard work, intelligent approach and ethos.
Man you will be missed, I was really enjoying working together on Core and Segue and having you and Nick visiting Leuven often!
I wish you all the best and I hope our paths cross again at some point.
Que te vaya muy bien,
Albert

Obrigado Mark

2023-10-19 12:55:15 UTC

All the best

Good luck and thanks!

2023-10-19 13:23:52 UTC

Hey Mark,

I am just realizing that you have decided to embark on a new professional adventure. I haven't had the opportunity to share with you much, only recently through the monthly Tech Leads meetings, but with that alone I have been able to realize that you will be greatly missed in this company. Best of luck and blessings in all your future projects!

Grande Mark Jaspan!

2023-10-19 18:24:36 UTC

The message must start with "thank you"!

You are a wonderful person, keen to learn, open to listen and always available to teach and share your knowledge.

Your opinions and contributions were also very welcomed and perfectly presented.

You are a gentleman!

And as one, deserve all the best that men may wish to someone else.

Take care! The company is losing more than you. :)

Abraço forte!

Celso

Thank you MARKKK!

2023-10-19 18:32:29 UTC

Hey Mark, thanks for you time with us in the core-lite team. It was a great pleasure to have various discussions about processes, metrics, and agility with you. It enriched me a lot!

I am sure your future will be bright and full of good things.

Best regards and good luck!

Hi Mark,

Just wanted to wish you all the best in your new journey and that it becomes as fruitful as you path at ABI. I still remember one time we interacted a bit more when one of the BI teams got the requirement to build a Sankey diagram to represent water usage. I hope my two cents of advice helped them get it right :-)
I hope our paths cross again in the future.

Tudo de bom!

From the very start - SAB trainees

2023-10-20 06:21:15 UTC

Hey Mark. Its tough for me to write this mate.

We joined SAB back in 2012 as 3 bright eyed trainees in Lucia's team. Ayanda, yourself and I would go on to learn plenty from Hein, UB, Chris and Mdu.
Travelling down to CT and PE to do the new FLOW config for the sites, learning of Rockwell and Siemens at the World of Snacks, and ultimately signing out as fully fledged control engineers.

We then all remained in the biz in different capacities, you at Maltings, trying to lay down a mark of excellence, before being snapped up as Zone C&A coordinator.

Over the years i have come to really admire your determination, attention to detail and pursuit of perfection. You never shy away from hard graft and have helped enrich the lives of so many younger trainees and colleagues along the way.

It is a sad day when a business deems a man of your ethical standard, incredible intelligence and work rate to be superfluous to requirements. :(

You always have and will - without doubt - continue to add immense value in any position you hold!

My favourite memories of us are Fridays in the pub in Sandton, meeting up at Clarens beerfest and living our best lives loop checking in the microbrewery!

So long KES boy, we'll stay in touch on the whatsapp groups! :)

Lekker Mark

2023-10-20 08:26:54 UTC

I just want to wish you all the best for the future. In the short span of time we worked together you really brought so much to the team. Your skills and knowledge will be greatly missed.

You are always a calm and collected person, and always provided fantastic insight to a problem that needed to be solved. I could always rely on you, and even saving my ass every now and again.

All the best.
Cheers
Christoph

MJ!!!

2023-10-20 14:03:50 UTC

Hey MJ,

We started our journey in the company at the same time, same team, all those 12 years ago. I remember how you had the most detailed POE in the traineeship program back then. You sure set the bar high for every other trainee that came through our team.

I've learnt so much from you over the years. It has been a real pleasure working with you. Sad to bid farewell to one of my day-ones in the company.

Cheers MJ! and all the best for the future. I sure will stay in touch.

Regards,
Mdu

Thanks for Everything!

2023-11-01 16:55:41 UTC

Hey Mr Jaspan!

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the time we've had the pleasure of working together. Although our time was brief, it felt like you had been with us for much longer.

Your commitment to doing great work until the last minute, and your eagerness to learn, with your unique personality, characterized by your direct approach, not afraid of saying what is in your mind, and collaborative spirit, didn't go unnoticed. It created a positive and inclusive atmosphere within our team and always put a smile on our faces.

As you move forward, I have no doubt that your integrity, dedication, and friendly demeanor will continue to serve you well in all your endeavors. I want to thank you for your contributions to our team and wish you the very best in your future endeavors.

Best!

Lucas Steinle

THANK YOU SIR!

Mark,

I would like to thank you for the journey you did with the team! It was a great ride!

It was a pleasure working with you especially as you brought a diverse perspective on the table and this strengthened the team!

I also enjoyed very much our open conversations on the business and role of Supply Transformation.

Next to work you also inspire us with your care for our one and only "globe". This is inspirational for all of us. You "walk the talk"!

I'm looking forward to continue the journey and collaboration through helping our EUR zone. So hope to see you soon.

Cheers on you,

THANK YOU,

Wim

Mr Jaspan!

Thank you for the time you shared with the team and I. You have always been willing and open to sharing your knowledge, passion and beliefs (as well as all those snacks you kept travelling with).

I specifically valued all the no agenda meetings where I first got to know you. Your genuine passion for sustainability, diversity and inclusion brought fresh perspective into the zoom rooms as well as your sense of humour

I personally enjoyed and learned a lot from our personal interactions and different perspectives and I thank you for being open and honest in the short period that we worked together

I wish you and your family the best in health and everything else for all the years to come.

Take care & farewell Mark

Joshua Zake

Thank you

2023-11-09 18:09:33 UTC

Coming into a business as complex as ours is always a bit daunting. Thank you for the time you spent sharing resources with me and virtually showing me around. It will not be forgotten. Best of luck to you and your family on your future ventures and adventures 😊

Cheers to you 🍺

Best wishes with your next chapter...

2023-11-10 10:23:01 UTC

I hope this note finds you in great spirits. As you transition to new horizons, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible impact you've had on Supply Transformation and the lasting impressions you are leaving behind. The moments we've shared, both professionally and personally, have been invaluable, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work alongside and mentor someone as talented and driven as you. I am sure your next endeavors will be filled with fulfillment, growth, and all the success you deserve.

Please keep in touch, and hopefully our paths cross again in the future.

Beyond being a great professional being you are even more a great person with strong principles and empathy.

As maiora in your next chapter.

Farewell

2023-11-15 12:20:15 UTC

Mark, I really lucky to have had you as a colleague, partner and friend, through these years on our journey. I'm glad we had the change to spend many great moments together in Brazil, México and EUR, from the initial steps and discovery of Sorba in GRU to the most recent CORE implementations. Funny moments trying to find Vegan food late at night in Mexico City won't be forgotten (hahaha).

Overall I wish you all be the best, and thanks for being such a nice person all the time and the things I learned over these years.

Cheers to you!.

Lucas Camisão.

Mark, you are app-solutely brilliant

mauriciobaiocco — 2023-11-15 12:21:36 UTC

As you ride off into the sunset of new adventures, may your sustainability wisdom and application prowess shine as bright as your clever wit. Wish you all the best! Farewell, and thank you so much for all the great times together. - Mauricio

Until Next Time...

2023-11-15 13:45:48 UTC

Mark,

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you over the past few years, and even more special to have you recently in our team.

I will miss our team trips to Leuven, where I got to sample new Vegan restaurants with you while we planned how to take S&A to the next level!

You have always been an inspiration to me, whether it is in a professional setting, or just a quiet chat, you have always made me want to do more - I now check my Carbon footprint on flights, thanks to you!

You are honestly one of the very best people I know, and Im certain that what ever you decide to do next, you will be a resounding success.

We will always have 3am in Gwangju!

Cheers,

Nick
