Storytelling is a critical role in the world of innovation and Brain is a corporate storyteller. Take a listen as we dig deeper and take a deeper look at Express Scripts.

Mark Stallion is a partner at Husch Blackwell, LLP, but his path to innovation didn't start with practicing law. As an engineer in the aerospace sector, Mark saw many of the tools, toys and tech we appreciate today at their earliest stages. Things like touch screens and LEDs first had military applications and today we can't imagine life without swiping left or right. Now at Husch Blackwell, he helps other innovators navigate the confusing world of intellectual property. Husch Blackwell is a great supporter of the innovation community and Mark is a leader worth knowing.

Mark Prendergast is the president of AB Mauri North America and actively involved in innovation. AB Mauri North America is a division of AB Mauri, a global leader in yeast and bakery ingredient products. Mark’s leadership is evident as he builds out a strong and diverse team. Most importantly, Mark’s focus is on empowering the AB Mauri customers. The AB Mauri facility has a state-of-the-art test kitchen and lab. As I chatted with Mark, I quickly learned that he is a strategic and purposeful innovator. We talked about the role innovation plays in his industry and how he sees the science of yeast evolving.
