He is ranked one of the "Top 8 Minds in Online Privacy," and was named “Privacy by Design Ambassador” by The Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada.

Mark received his BA from the University of California, Santa Cruz; and his MBA from the Anderson School of Management at UCLA. He resides in Los Angeles.

Mark joined me from L.A. and we talked about Facebook being a data company and not a social network, helping your kids navigate through the social media minefield, taking the road less travelled... and learning to forgive yourself.
