Sales ・Strategy・ AI & Cloud ・ Risk

Hi, I’m Mark McLaughlin, a veteran leader of teams that build and sell data and AI solutions across hybrid cloud. I also lead innovation discussions with CxOs, press, and conference audiences at the intersection of risk, technology, and business. I currently work as insurance industry expert and sales leader for the financial services vertical at IBM.

About

In past lives, I've run global strategy, led line consulting organizations, run a data and CRM consultancy, sold $100M deals and delivered $100M projects, and built multiple startups. I’ve also run a news desk, skied double-black diamonds, completed four marathons (one while chased by a moose), and blown things up in the desert for shadowy government organizations.
