Managing Partner
Since 2007, Mark has been part of high-tech Sales & Marketing Teams, both as a hands-on member and an executive leader. At several Cybersecurity and IT Ops startups (notably SolarWinds and AlienVault), Mark has designed, built, and managed tightly integrated Sales & Marketing functions - configured to support the specific needs of each company and each team.
In 2020, Mark co-founded a small startup that built Data Privacy and Data Anonymization tools for Salesforce customers. That company was acquired by Salesforce in 2022. Following that successful exit, Mark has consulted with (and occasionally invested in) small, fast-growing high-tech startups to architect and build their Sales, Marketing, Revops, and Analytics capabilities.
Mark is an Operating Advisor at Elsewhere Partners, which evaluates and invests in mid-stage high-tech startups.
Outside work, Mark hangs out with his wife and two teenage daughters, plus a growing passel of pets. He also tinkers (in vain) on several old cars in his garage.
