About Mark Horton

Known for pushing boundaries to new levels, I have delivered growth through product development and marketing at companies large and small for the last 15 years. I bring a nimble and creative \'small company\' attitude, with the experiences and knowledge of working at large, publicly traded companies. I\'ve been called;\"a change agent\",\"unflappable\",\"someone I can count on for new ideas\" as well as \"someone with the rare ability to see 2 or 3 steps ahead, in order to solve (or avoid) problems and build strategies\". I have been a leader of teams which had great success bringing consumer focused solutions to market. I have a passion for leadership; the strategic planning for a company and development of the team (and myself). I strive to be a leader worth following, who can build great teams and create clarity around a company\'s mission (purpose), vision and values.During my career I have enjoyed learning what life is like on 3 Continents. I\'ve been fortunate enough to develop and market products that have been placed on the shelves of the largest retailers in the world as well as through B2B channels. Experience with communication and interaction with end consumers, retailers, businesses and municipal governments.Specialties- Big picture, long range thinking- Brand positioning and channel strategy- Revenue growth driven by omni-channel marketing mediums- Pricing and profit maximization- Consumer focused marketing and advertising- Cross-functional team leadership and product development- Creative direction (product development, packaging, web and advertising) and sales.
