Bio
Joe Hill
Passion. If I had to pick one word to describe Mark, it's "passion". Mark's passion and energy is quite contagious, and he has a unique ability to inspire others with his vision. I have worked with Mark in many capacities, and in his most recent role as Director of Market and Product Strategy, he was able to use his passion to guide our business into the future. Mark's knowledge of education, deep concern and commitment to the customer, and foresight of where the industry is going serves him well as he creates a strategy for each of our products. Mark is highly respected both by his peers and his direct reports. He quietly leads by example and has served as a mentor for many people. Mark comes with my highest recommendation.

I have worked with Mark for many years in various roles. He is one of those rare people who has the experience of being an educator and an education technology provider and can balance the needs of both sides really well. He always puts the cutsomer first. He has a breadth of experience in the edtech industry and understands business vision, product startegy, product roadmap, content and curriculum requirements, market needs and is able to translate all that to deliver the right product for the education stakeholders. He is a good listener, very good team player and has a talent to become one among the customers to build solid relationships that has helped create leading influencers for TI products. His pleasing personality, quiet leadership style, drive to solve customer problems and a solid network among education influencers will be a tremendous asset to anyone he works with.
