Mark Shriner's Bio

Mark Shriner is the Co-Founder and CEO of Breeze Docs, a Gen-AI-powered RFP response platform that helps companies reduce the time required to respond to RFPs, RFIs, security questionnaires, and other business documents by up to 90%.

Before founding Breeze Docs, Mark served as CEO Asia Pacific at CLS Communication, a top financial translation provider, and as Director of Client Engagement, North America & Japan at adaQuest, a Microsoft Cybersecurity and Compliance Gold Partner.
