Mark Turrell - CEO Imaginatik plc
Mark Turrell is the 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. Mark’s 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 relying on interviews and survey data. With Imaginatik, he and his team developed many of the fundamental concepts behind collaborative innovation and Collective Intelligence. He advises major global firms on leveraging these techniques, and Behavioral Science, to solve large-scale problems, working closely with Imaginatik’s Global 500 clients including Chevron, Pfizer, Whirlpool, and Xerox. Mark is committed to making change on a global scale, and is driving Imaginatik’s initiative to work with nonprofits and NGOs to tackle world problems, such as water, energy, poverty and waste. His major achievements to date include Imaginatik’s award of Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, and taking Imaginatik public on the London Stock Exchange.
Mark lives between Boston, Berlin and London. He speaks French and German, and enjoys travel and writing.
