Mr. Mauk’s notable assignments include supporting pre- and post-filing workstreams as part of the bankruptcy of a multibillion-dollar drug store retailer in the US with 2,000+ stores nationally. As part of the pre-filing process, he led the creation of a bottoms-up IT spend baseline and point of view for cost-savings opportunities to inform the bankruptcy filing and lender model. His post-petition responsibilities included organizational design; creating and executing contract renegotiation strategies based on the future state of the organization; and executing strategic initiatives to replace technologies and vendors with lower-cost alternatives, leveraging the Chapter 11 process to reject contracts.

Mr. Mauk has led the IT diligence of several acquisition targets across a wide range of sizes and industries, including retail, professional services, and software providers. He served as Co-Chief Information Officer for a private equity portfolio company consisting of 13 recently acquired subsidiaries in the commercial janitorial and property maintenance space. His responsibilities included the future state consolidated enterprise resource planning (ERP), work order/field service management solution, and overall system and integration architecture.

In addition, Mr. Mauk led the development of a transaction services agreement for a carve-out of a $600 million US retail department store from a multi-banner parent company. Post-transaction, he managed development and execution of the separation plan and workstream teams to select and negotiate the future state platform, which consisted of replacements for key systems, including ERP, e-commerce, and order and customer management, as well as workstreams for a new customer contact center and distribution facility.

Prior to joining A&M, Mr. Mauk spent several years with Avanade, where he managed a team that oversaw user interface design, web service and application development, innovation and integration, and deployment.
