Mark spent nearly 22 years with Bayer, where he helped shape portfolio strategy, go-to-market execution and customer engagement across the Americas. Under his leadership, Envu has grown significantly in the environmental science space, serving customers across eight dedicated markets: Professional Pest Management, Forestry, Ornamentals, Golf, Industrial Vegetation Management, Lawn & Landscape, Mosquito Management, and Range & Pasture.
Mark’s experience has given him deep insight into best practices in commercial strategy and execution, new business creation, financial performance, and organizational development. He is passionate about building a culture grounded in empowerment, accountability, and dedication to customers. Mark serves as a co-ambassador for the Envu cultural trait of “Start with the Customer,” which emphasizes taking the time to understand the job customers are trying to accomplish and the outcomes they seek. This approach goes beyond chemistry, recognizing that solutions from Envu represent one part of a broader set of outcomes customers are working to achieve.
Mark often frames the Envu purpose—advancing healthy environments for everyone, everywhere—as a commitment to providing peace of mind in the places where people live, work and play.
