Mark Wharton - Chief Technology Officer, Iotics

Engineering creativity coupled with forensic thinking about ‘things’, Mark is maddeningly tenacious until he has got something that really works. Unfortunately, this sometimes happens at his Zumba class – which isn’t pretty. He has a flair for building engineering teams to turn concepts into working reality and communicating in a way that ordinary mortals can understand. Unsurprisingly, Mark is the experienced engineering brain behind the Iotic concept.

His professional life combined engineering and science has taken him through a variety of roles, including design and production engineering, business planning, marketing and corporate sales, mainly in the telecommunications sector.
