About Mark Yeager

I am a senior commercial and strategic account leader with experience spanning industrial and medical accelerator systems, dosimetry, and radiation-based technologies in highly regulated, capital-intensive markets. My background includes commercial roles supporting accelerator-driven platform development aligned with DOE-related initiatives and early-stage commercialization efforts.Across my career, I have built and managed large-scale commercial pipelines (>$50M), secured flagship capital equipment contracts—including a $29M proton therapy system—and expanded enterprise territories through disciplined market development and strategic account execution. I am experienced in navigating long sales cycles, multi-stakeholder buying environments, and complex technical evaluations where performance, reliability, and compliance are critical decision drivers.My strength lies in translating advanced technologies into commercial traction—working at the intersection of engineering, operations, and customers to identify high-value opportunities, position differentiated solutions, and scale adoption.I focus on helping technically complex platforms achieve commercial scale through disciplined market development, strategic account engagement, and close collaboration across engineering, operations, and commercial teams.
