Mark Goode

My perspective is built on experience that spans Fortune 50 corporations, venture-backed startups, government technology programs, and complex commercial transactions. Over the course of my career, I helped launch the IBM PC, founded one of the first data-entry ventures in China through a partnership with Tsinghua University, led the development of an NSA-certified computer security product, helped pioneer public Wi-Fi networks by deploying the first ever national network in concert with Starbucks, American Airlines, and Hilton Hotels, and advised Department of Defense programs that generated more than $1 billion in documented savings. Today I bring those lessons to audiences seeking practical insight into technology commercialization, innovation leadership, strategic partnerships, venture growth, and the realities of turning ideas into enterprise value. My presentations combine real-world stories, strategic frameworks, and candid lessons learned from four decades at the intersection of technology, business, and growth.
