Background

About Mark Riddick

In the Aerospace/Defense markets, I started the Aerospace/Defense division of Futaba in Huntsville, AL. This currently includes business development in Electronic Manufacturing, and Drone Development as well as a Partner Alliance Program. Within the first 6 months, I have closed over 3 million in new business. I am in the process of developing new drone products for First Responders as well as Commercial and Aerospace/Defense, while overseeing electronic fabrication of proejcts. In the IT and DotCom realms, I have developed and sold products and helped design IT infrastructure services for B2B. Early in my career I was recruited to California by Global Crossing/Global Center/Exodus to manage the central region of the U.S. resulting in closing the first fully managed sale of complex hosting and co-location, and effectively shortening the company's sales cycle from nearly a year to a couple of months. I've held positions in project management, Director of IT, and more. I've done everything from laying cable to building servers, project management to sales/sales engineering and marketing. Having held these different roles has given me the experience to bridge the gaps between the business department and the IT department where there has historically always been divide. In the Music/Television Industry I started a media company to bridge the technological and financial gaps that challenge artists, businesses, networks, and film/tv studios to maximize the profits and visibility, provide a faster turnaround on time to market and greater revenue. Past projects include building and renovating a studio for Universal Music, engineering for Sony, Original films and tours for the Armed Services, original music for Discovery Networks, ESPN and original music on radio and streaming services.
