Mark never likes to do things the same way twice. An explorer of ideas, people and experiences, he is happiest when he’s helping others see the world differently or checking out a new vantage point on his own. Purposeful wandering has led Mark to run up mountains, down random streets and on long car rides with just the right music. He’s always striving to make a meaningful impact on the world while not taking himself too seriously. After a first career in corporate finance, Mark has spent the last decade focused on guiding clients through experience design, brand activation and culture cultivation as well as having a leadership position with Sharp HealthCare and growing the luxury retailer PIRCH.
Although Evencia has an endless list of why New York is quite possibly the best city in the world, she has happily called San Diego her home for the past 18 years, and it’s where she currently lives with her husband and beloved puggle, Sookie Stackhouse. She believes good food and wine are best enjoyed with great friends, is always ready to offer up a recommendation for the latest and greatest series on Netflix, and prefers her coffee with frothed milk—so much so that she’s even been known to travel with a handheld frother when necessary. But she’s not just passionate about milk—she has a fundamental passion for helping brands realize their fullest potential. The breadth of her business development, marketing and consulting work covers guiding and growing brands within a variety of industries, including retail, fashion, consumer packaged goods, entertainment, healthcare and technology. She leads Bulldog Drummond’s effort to partner with brands that are striving to deliver an amazing experience, capture share of heart and make a positive impact. She brings her experience working with clients such as Disney, Microsoft, PetSmart and HP as well as her curiosity, intellect and genuine love of people to a range of projects at Bulldog.
