Senior Information Systems Executive · Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science · Lecturer & Project Mentor · Former CEO · WGS
Two decades at the meeting point of technology, management and research — from leading national information systems, through enterprise PMO and cyber risk management, to doctoral research on information systems quality assessment.
The brief
A senior information systems executive with a proven record leading digital transformation, enterprise application management and core-systems modernisation — across the public sector, academia and industry.
My specialism is aligning technology initiatives with business goals: building the technology roadmap and defining success metrics (KPIs), managing cyber and IT risk, and embedding AI and data solutions into the organisation’s core processes.
Alongside management I lecture and mentor — I founded and led the Projects & Industry Collaboration Center at HIT, guided hundreds of student projects from requirements specification through to POC, and delivered courses and lectures in Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Ukraine and North Macedonia.
And in parallel — research. My doctoral work at KhAI develops a model and method for assessing information systems quality from an organisational perspective: turning the question “does this system actually work for the organisation?” into something measurable.
How it connects
Research, teaching, mentoring
Strategy, PMO and governance
Systems, data and development
What remains
End-to-end development management of the system holding the cadastral data of the State of Israel — from POC and specification through to a user-focused product.
Founded from scratch and led a centre that delivered more than 25 projects for high-tech companies, government bodies and market leaders — at no cost to the partner company.
Dozens of sensors and a LoRaWAN network deployed across the HIT campus to monitor living conditions and air quality in classrooms and laboratories, including UI development — and a candidacy for the Horizon programme.
Developed and rolled out cyber risk management procedures at the Survey of Israel, including courses and workshops for the management tier.

Mark connected the institute with many industries, first among them the Survey of Israel, and built a powerful array of GIS projects. Since then dozens of students have received hands-on training of the highest standard.
Mark developed the GIS discipline, initiated software development projects in the field, and became the professional centre of knowledge for it.
Throughout the time I have known him he performed to my complete satisfaction and carried out his tasks with maximum efficiency. Mark has high motivation to succeed and an aspiration to excellence.
