Mark Vogel, Managing Director
For the last thirty years, Mark has been an intrepreneur and entrepreneur. Most recently, Mark was a founder of two venture-backed start-ups in the area of Internet and network-based data management and embedded/intelligent device software technology – the software that drives machines.
Prior to founding these start-ups, Mark spent over 20 years in financial services, principally at Bank of America. During his tenure at BofA, Mark created the Online Banking Group and was a member of teams that developed the first corporate data warehouse, the first mortgage-backed securities, the first foreign currency traveler’s checks and the first interactive trading and trader communications systems. On the public policy front, Mark worked on the major banking issues of the 70s and 80s including McFadden and Edge Act reform (interstate banking), Glass-Stiegel reform (securities/banking integration) and the creation of International Banking Facilities. He was also a member of the team that negotiated the release of Americans held hostage by the Iranian Government between 1979-81 and a key member of the team that coordinated the merger and integration of Bank of America with Security Pacific, then the largest and most complex transaction of its day.
In addition to his role at SRS, Mark serves on the board of directors of Encirq Corporation, the company he founded in 1998. Mark holds a Master of Science degree from Stanford University in Operations Research and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Temple University in Mathematics and Accounting.
