Celebrate Hillel 2023

Mark K. Stutman ’72

Drexel Hillel Leadership Award Honoree

A graduate of Drexel University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Mark spent almost his entire career in public accounting (1973-2015) with Grant Thornton in the tax practice. He started as a staff accountant and over the course of his career held local, regional and national leadership positions culminating as the managing partner of the firm’s tax practice and serving on the firm’s senior leadership team. During this time, Mark held positions and lived in Philadelphia, Washington, DC and Chicago.

Mark has also had significant exposure to leadership development. During his last three years with the firm, he oversaw the leadership and development function for the 7,000 partners and employees of Grant Thornton.

Mark served on a committee created by Drexel University President John Fry to make recommendations as to the model for Jewish life on Drexel’s campus, which led to the building of the Raymond G. Perelman Center for Jewish Life at Drexel University and the independence of the Drexel Hillel organization.

Mark labeled his post-retirement as his “give-back period,” serving in leadership roles for nonprofit organizations and as a donor to multiple charities. Mark’s board service has included being board president of Drexel Hillel, a member and chairman of the Drexel University Accounting Advisory Council, a member of the Drexel University Board of Visitors, a mentor to Drexel Graduate MS Finance and Accounting students, a member of the Edward M. Snider Foundation Audit Committee, and treasurer of a Center City condominium association and his current HOA development.

Mark has two children and three grandchildren of which he is immensely proud. He is passionate about all the Philadelphia sports teams, and enjoys reading, exercise and travel, having been to over 40 countries.
