An Interview with Mark
To say that Mark Brodsky has a passion for numbers is an understatement.
Ever since childhood, Mark has demonstrated an innate talent for arithmetic, science, computers - anything remotely numeric. He received his bachelor's degree in Accounting from Drexel University, followed by an MBA from the famed Wharton School of Business in Pennsylvania.
But Mark's history of success in the financial business began shortly after college as he worked at RCA and GE, excelling in several finance positions, including Manager of Finance for GE Aerospace's International Operation. From there, he went on to become Vice President of Finance and Senior Developer for Merrill International, Ltd, where he led the development and financing of two power plants in northern Argentina worth over 130 million dollars.
He then joined Arthur D. Little, a management, technology and environmental consulting firm, as Executive Vice President, Finance and Development. His responsibilities included finance, information technology, licensing operations and ADL Capital. His next role was President and CEO of Nuvera Fuel Cells, Inc., a 185-person fuel cell company located in Cambridge, Mass. and Milan.
Today, Mark serves as Chief Financial Officer at Red Ventures, and is responsible for all contractual, administrative and financial matters. As Mark looks to the future for Red Ventures, his vision is this: "It's very exciting to be part of such an exceptional company. I can only foresee new growth opportunities and continued success for the team - and of course, exceeding our numbers year after year!"
