ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Mark Birch is a community builder, entrepreneur, business development expert, and startup advisor based in Singapore and NYC.

He currently works at Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a Startup Advocate helping to support the community of startups & entrepreneurs across Asia-Pacific. He is the founder of DEV.BIZ.OPS, a blog about technology innovation and transformation. He also founded the Enterprise Sales Forum, a global community of 25,000 B2B sales professionals that meet in-person and virtually through local chapters to share ideas, network with peers, and learn new skills.

Previously, Mark was at Stack Overflow to help launch their Enterprise SaaS Q&A platform and then led efforts to expand business in APAC. Before that he worked at a diverse group of leading technology companies, including Oracle, E.piphany and Siebel, in sales in contributor and leadership roles. He got his start in technology by accident as a programmer without any programming experience.

Mark graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Boston University. In his non-working hours, he likes to tour around Chinatown exploring dumplings shacks, and he can generally be seen rocking out to extreme metal.
