Mark Pastor is a seasoned business manager, strategist, and entrepreneur. He brings over 20 years of leadership and executive experience from industry leading companies including Seagate Technology and CalComp Inc., a Lockheed Martin subsidiary. Mark has a wealth of experience in roles that span general management, strategic planning, product planning, product management, product marketing, engineering management, market development and business development.
Mark has a passion for leading teams to bridge technology and the market, which is why he has frequently been tasked to lead the assessment and planning for new markets and new business ventures. These experiences have sharpened his ability to deliver strategic clarity in the midst of a high degree of market and technology uncertainty.
In addition to leading the initial investment strategies for these ventures, he often established technology and go-to-market partnerships, pioneered relationships with major forces in a variety of industries, and in many cases was the initial business champion and team leader for market launch activities. These experiences have offered Mark the pleasure of participating in a wide range of markets and technologies spanning computer graphics, data backup and archive, digital rights management, data security, entertainment content distribution, and consumer electronics.
The same entrepreneurial spirit that drove Mark to these market and business development roles has inspired him to form a software company and a marketing consulting partnership.
Mark is currently the chairperson for the Eerie Erie, a 5k/10k race that is the primary fund raiser for the Optimist Club of Erie who’s mission is to serve the children in the community. He loves puzzles and strategy games, and recently began to study the ancient game of Go. Now he just needs to find someone to play the game with, so he can develop his skills.
