About

Hi, I’m Mark. I build and scale cybersecurity and software companies at the point where product, market, and trust have to come together.

I’m currently CEO of Cyrisma, a cybersecurity platform helping thousands of businesses understand and mitigate cyber risks. Before that, I co-founded Vantyr, where we worked with CISOs to tackle one of cybersecurity’s fastest-growing challenges: securing non-human identities. Prior to Vantyr, I co-founded Educhain, a digital credentialing platform that scaled to more than 1.5 million users before being acquired.

Across startups, banks, governments, and global institutions, my work has centered on translating complex technical shifts into practical strategy: what to build, how to position it, how to sell it, and how to help large organizations actually adopt it. I’ve advised CISOs and executive teams, contributed to World Economic Forum and government innovation initiatives, and led products and consulting engagements reaching millions of people.

I grew up in an immigrant family where business, investing, and entrepreneurship were dinner-table conversations. That early exposure shaped how I think: look for asymmetric opportunities, build from first principles, and move quickly from insight to execution.

The common thread in my career is translation and decision-making under uncertainty. I enjoy sitting between technical complexity and business urgency - helping teams turn ambiguous markets, security risks, and customer needs into products, strategies, and companies that scale.
