Mark Kennedy is an entrepreneur, investor, advisor and founder of several technology companies - most of which failed. Two, however, have achieved INC500 designation and his current firm, Crown has made the INC500 five years running. Kennedy’s primary expertise is sales and revenue generation, focusing on establishing outsourcing programs to help clients accelerate return on sales. Mark’s philosophy, documented in his blog, “The Drive” has helped both global corporations and emerging firms use technology to drive revenue growth. Examples of his firm’s work include Fidelity.com and PfizerPro.com.
Prior to founding Crown, Mark served in executive, sales and consulting capacities for a few Fortune 500 companies before finding his entrepreneurial calling by channeling his fiercely competitive athletic background towards building businesses. Mark holds a bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from Bucknell, where his most distinguished accomplishments occurred on the baseball diamond.
Mark is married with four awesome children, has a dog, two unfortunate cats and an alarming number of carnival-won ping-pong ball goldfish. In his spare time he can often be found on the golf course, equally delighting in rivalries with old friends and trying out new courses while making new acquaintances wherever his work takes him.
