MARK RABENS | VP TRANSPORTATION

By Haley CrummettNo Comments


“I HAVE FOUND THAT BY WORKING WITH THE EVEREST GROUP, THEY HANDLE A LOT OF THE
DETAILS IN THE PROCESS. ALSO, DEPENDING ON THE SPECIFICS OF THE JOB THEY ARE
ABLE TO FIND THOSE UNIQUE QUALITIES THAT HIRING MANAGERS MAY BE LOOKING FOR.”







QUESTION: WHAT IS YOUR NAME/TITLE/COMPANY YOU CURRENTLY WORK FOR?

My name is Mark Rabens, and I work for Dependable Supply Chain Services. I am
the Vice President of the Harbor and Intermodal Division – I am involved with
and in charge of anything that happens going in and out of the port or rail
locations.




QUESTION: HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE LOGISTICS/SUPPLY CHAIN INDUSTRY? HOW HAS YOUR
CAREER PROGRESSED SINCE YOU STARTED?

I was an auto mechanic and had an accident. I knew a friend in the
transportation department at Xerox, he got me a job there and I worked there for
about 24 years holding various roles in their transportation department. When
Xerox started outsourcing all of their activity, I worked for various companies
in management positions overseeing different parts of transportation for the
next decade. I have been dealing with drayage since 1984, and had taken a VP
position with a medical supply company when I got a call from Anthony Duncan,
Vice President of National Accounts  saying he had a position I might be
interested in. I was very subtle in saying no, but he was persistent. He got me
in touch with the Dependable leadership team and I came on board with DHE at the
beginning of 2021.




QUESTION: WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE PROJECT YOU WORKED ON THAT HAD THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AT DHE?

My favorite project is two-fold. The ports are changing and effective January
2024 there can’t be any new diesel-powered products into the harbor anymore. Our
goal at Dependable was to build enough residual power to get us through the
startup of this new vision of clean fuel or clean energy at the ports. We have
done that and put ourselves in a position for growth. The most significant part
is looking at the broader spectrum of our bidding business Nationwide. We are
bidding all over the place and developing partnerships like I did in previous
roles with other companies. So, if I have something that needs to move in
Virginia, Savannah or Houston for example, we can get that drayed and moved
accordingly based on what the customer needs are. Our goal is to get enough
business in those areas that we can grow them as a satellite location.




QUESTION:HAVE YOU WORKED WITH A RECRUITMENT AGENCY PRIOR TO THE EVEREST GROUP TO
FIND YOURSELF A NEW OPPORTUNITY?

I have been approached by employment agencies at previous roles, and used them
to put me in touch with those companies, but I wouldn’t say I had a long term
partnership with an agency. I have always been in a position where recruiters
reach out to me. I have known Dennis Teschler, Vice President of National
Accounts  for a long time, and have known many people who have worked with The
Everest Group to find their next opportunity.




QUESTION: WHAT SURPRISED YOU THE MOST/WHAT WAS DIFFERENT ABOUT WORKING WITH THE
EVEREST GROUP?

When Anthony Duncan approached me about this position with Dependable and we
started talking about the role, I appreciated his no nonsense approach. The
initial discussion was succinct, and he cut to the chase quickly. We were able
to move forward with next steps and he was able to set up a meeting with
leadership at Dependable and I accepted the offer.  




QUESTION: SINCE BEING AT DHE, I KNOW YOU USED THE EVEREST GROUP TO FILL SOME
POSITIONS. WHAT WAS THAT PROCESS LIKE SEEING IT FROM THE OTHER SIDE?

I have found that by working with The Everest Group, they handle a lot of the
details in the process. Also, depending on the specifics of the job they are
able to find those unique qualities that hiring managers may be looking for.
With one of the recent hires, we were looking for a certain set of skills. The
Everest Group provided ample resumes and worked with me to find that person with
that specific skill set. I was surprised how easy they made it seem. I am
confident in reaching out to Anthony if I need to hire again in the future.




QUESTION: WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK?

Outside of work, I like to do anything that I can do with my family. I’ve got
adult kids, and I like seeing them as often as possible. I like local travel. I
used to enjoy more extended travel, but with the world as it is now, local is a
safer bet. My wife and I spend as much time together as we can. We just recently
returned from Napa. Overall, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. As
your relatives get older you realize how important it is to spend quality time
with them.
