Mark Herschberg’s Biography
I’ve been doing fractional CTPO work while I did a virtual book tour. I’m continuing to do fractional CTO/CPO work but would be open to the right CPTO opportunity full-time. My preferences are for cybersecurity, healthcare, or IOT, but I’ll consider others (just not adtech or cryptocurrencies).
Seasoned executive and cybersecurity expert who can bridge the divide between business and technology. I have started, grown, and fixed startup companies spanning over a dozen different verticals as well as helped two Fortune 500 companies with their internal startup initiatives, and helped create educational programs at MIT and HBS. I typically lead engineering, product, and data science and co-created strategy for the company. Experienced board member.
I’ve created multiple marketplaces (labor, lead gen, video, content, financial) and enjoy constructing marketplaces and surrounding lines of business. I’ve launched products in those spaces as well as messaging, cybersecurity, medical / health, and education, with over a dozen patents to my name across many industries.
