Previously, Mark was senior vice president at NBC News Digital, managing business units including Stringwire, a live mobile video platform for collaborative citizen reporting. He was senior vice president of technology at iVillage: The Women’s Network, and cofounded Rojo Networks, one of the first large-scale feed aggregators and personalized blog readers. In the early days of the internet he led The WELL’s effort to build the first web-based interface for online forums, and brought the pre-web internet to millions by creating and running AOL’s Internet Center. He managed technology for the pioneering US-Soviet Sovam Teleport email service, and cofounded and led PeaceNet, one of the first online communities for progressive social change, and later the Institute for Global Communications, among the world’s first ISPs. He also cofounded the global NGO Association for Progressive Communications. Mark was introduced to computer-mediated communications in the U.S. Air Force, spending more than three years at the Air Force Data Services Center at the Pentagon. While still in uniform, he cofounded the Washington DC Campaign for a Nuclear Weapons Freeze, and later compiled a list of peace groups published as the Peace Resource Book while helping run a nationwide PR and organizing campaign for the movie The Day After.
