As GM of Seller Conferences at Amazon, Mark has invested the past five years building new teams, events, and experiences, initially for Amazon Web Services as Head of Global Sales Events, and more recently with Amazon’s Worldwide Stores, Selling Partner Services, focused on innovative engagement and community building events for its third-party selling partners. With half of his career focused exclusively on large-scale corporate events, as a program director and attendee experience advocate for tech companies such as CA Technologies and Juniper Networks, Mark spent the first half circling the world building networks (personal and physical) with networking goliaths Nortel Networks and British Telecom. A calling to make a difference for children and their communities in rural Zambia living below the poverty line, resulted in him establishing a non-profit in 2011 which he still manages today, constructing schools, hospitals, and providing clean water wells. Combined with his passion for music and his focus on his family of six residing in the East Bay since 2004, Mark brings a wealth of experience, insight, and creativity to any global event.
