Chairman
Mark C. Ubelhart is the newly appointed CACP Executive Advisory Board Chairman. He is a former Hewitt Partner & Corporate Finance/Exec Compensation and Human Capital Practices Leader. He also served as VP of Harris Bank Corporate Financial Consulting head. In his role as Hewitt’s Human Capital Practices Leader, Ubelhart led a large-scale project using Hewitt’s proprietary database of employees’ compensation and employment duration at specific firms to identify pivotal employees and to show that when pivotal employees leave firms at a fast pace, the subsequent CFROIs (cash-flow-return-on-investment) of those firms declined. In contrast, high retention rates of pivotal employees led to increased CFROIs.
He holds an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago.
