A graduate in mechanical engineering from MIT and an MBA in Finance from the Wharton School, Mark considers life, business and community as the best classroom for lifelong learning which he embraces with gusto and also that of failure as a trusted, honest friend. Mark speaks seven languages to varying degrees of proficiency.
Driven by the vision and grounded in values, Mark seeks to make a difference in the world far beyond personal achievement, but more importantly team and sustainable business success while helping to tackle significant issues facing the world such as climate change, environmental and agricultural degradation, poverty and equality.
