Find Your Way Forward
I’m a technology executive with 30 years of experience as a product leader, strategist, program and project manager, client liaison, team builder, and operational guru.
Today, no company can be competitive without a strong technology strategy. But solutions are expensive to implement, the landscape is changing almost by the minute, and unbiased guidance is hard to find. Whether you're a business leader with a big decision to make, or already entangled with systems that don't meet your needs, it can feel overwhelming.
I can help. I love to show technology-dependent companies how to tame business chaos, align action with strategy, and unleash the potential of every team member. Whatever your scale or stage, I'll work to right-size your toolkit, enhance your processes, and build in the flexibility you need to be ready for the future.
Along with my independent engagements, I partner with the online higher-ed consultancy Rhodes Advisors, and with technology strategy and execution agency Radius Advisory.
Mark is a master at simplifying complex technology challenges and translating them into business imperatives.

I’m about results
I know the pain of bringing in consultants who produce pie-in-the-sky recommendations that never go anywhere. If I suspect my input won’t be genuinely impactful, I’ll be the first to say so. -
I have more tools than a hammer, because no challenge is just a nail
I've served in varied roles at ventures of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises. I can deeply understand your business context, identify leverage points, and right-size solutions for any stage of your journey. -
Plain talk
I'm an expert at distilling complex technical challenges and action plans for non-technical audiences. We succeed when everyone internalizes a shared vision and strategy. -
Unbiased guidance
I’m agnostic about particular software vendor solutions. I have a vast network of independent technology talent I can bring to bear if appropriate, but no incentive to leverage people or tools that aren’t aligned with your best interests.
