About Mark Sage

Founder & Managing Director, Sagey11 Ltd

If you’re a technology founder or CEO who knows your product has potential but can’t quite crack the market, that’s exactly the problem Mark solves. He helps startups, scale-ups, and innovation-led organisations turn emerging technology into revenue, market leadership, and sustainable growth.

With over three decades of experience across product strategy, business development, and digital transformation, Mark has established himself as a pivotal commercial catalyst — helping great technology become great businesses. He believes in the value of personal relationships, business partnerships and commercial alliances to get the best results in the most efficient way.

He has worn many hats in his career — product owner, creator, marketer, innovation and business case developer, channel development manager, evangelist, spokesperson, strategist, programme and project manager, and mentor — across a range of AR, mobile, B2C, B2B, and IoT technologies in an international context.

Mark chairs a company based in Australia, mentors scale-up CEOs in India, Peru, and Kenya, and sits on advisory boards for startups, scale-ups, universities, incubators, and VCs. Clients include MIT Horizons, the UK Government, and the Royal Academy of Engineering.
