Founder, The Kermit Collective
Mark is the The CEO of TXI, a product innovation and custom software development consultancy. While growing that business, he quickly realized how much the leadership team would benefit from the advice and support from other leaders who faced similar challenges. In 2014, he founded OpsConf to create that network of software execs who share the same values and struggle with similar challenges. In 2021, that group pivoted to The Kermit Collective to foster a stronger community built on trust, openness, and connection.
