Before joining Visa, Mark headed the product development team at TSYS that grew the payment gateway by 10X.

Before that he managed a privately held web content management solutions start-up, where he founded a consulting practice that tripled revenues in two years. Prior to Quantum Art, Mark adventured in Germany, where he worked as senior product manager at Intershop Communications, and as a business analyst at Hewlett-Packard. While in Germany, Mark studied in the Euro*MBA program and founded Western Europe's first graduate education distance learning fraternity. Prior to Intershop, Mark was on board with Pacific Bell as they launched the first “Baby Bell” Internet service using Netscape 0.9. Mark’s first job out of college was at Franklin Templeton, where he got into public speaking through Toastmasters and Dale Carnegie. A lifelong learner, Mark studied Philosophy and Business Economics at University of California Santa Barbara. Mark’s passions are filmmaking and travel to film festivals. He attends South By Southwest every year and has been to Cannes and the Venice International festivals. With the Scary Cow filmmaker co-op, Mark produced and acted in independent films (e.g., https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1778349).
