Mark Turrell
ex-CEO & Co-Founder
Imaginatik
|
Mark is the former CEO and co-founder of Imaginatik, a software and services company specializing in tapping into the brainpower of tens to tens of thousands of people to solve problems. His original Ph.D. research at Cass Business School investigated the use of collaborative technologies, and he pioneered the study of software server log data to track actual usage, rather than interviews and survey data. With Imaginatik, he and his team developed many of the fundamental concepts behind collaborative innovation and problem solving.
Mark advises major global firms on leveraging the 'collective genius' of a workforce to solve large-scale problems, working closely with Imaginatik's Global 500 clients including Chevron, Pfizer, Whirlpool, and Xerox. He is committed to making change on a global scale, and is driving Imaginatik's initiative to work with nonprofits and NGOs to work on world problems, such as water, energy, poverty and waste. His two major achievements to date include Imaginatik's award of Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum in 2008, and taking Imaginatik public on the London Stock Exchange (AIM: imtk.L).
Mark graduated in Business Studies from Cass Business School in London, with a specialization in marketing. He conducted post-graduate studies at the ESCP in Paris, following the newly created EMB program, specializing in International Business & Finance, and then at the TU-Berlin where he studied Production, Controlling & Logistics. He worked on his doctorate at Cass Business School on the topic of critical mass and diffusion of collaborative technologies - and used his uncompleted thesis as the conceptual foundation of the company that was to become Imaginatik plc.
