Team

  • Founder, CEO

    Validately is my third startup. I sold my first two to LivingSocial and TripAdvisor, respectively. In between, I ran the publisher business for Quantcast turning it around into a growing and profitable business line. I also had a management role at DoubleClick. I graduated with honors from Harvard Business School and George Washington University. I have 2 high energy sons and a very supportive wife.

  • Mark founded CVSDude, which he sold to CollabNet in 2010. CVSDude's product stored a company's source code in the cloud. Although, there was no such label as "the cloud" when he started the company in 2002. He was the original/sole developer and built a 19 person engineering team. CVSDude generated several million in revenues before its sale. Mark was also the founding CTO of Appointuit, which is Australia's leading doctor scheduling service.

  • Jessica is an experienced entrepreneur and executive. Jessica is an alumni of McKinsey and Harvard Business School. She sold her first company to MediaOcean for a sizable return for investors.
