Mark Noctor joins YellowDog as Chief Commercial Officer

We’re delighted to announce that Mark Noctor has joined YellowDog as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) to oversee the company’s growth in sales and customer success as we expand. Mark joins YellowDog with more than 25 years commercial leadership, sales execution and business development experience with global high technology organisations.

Prior to YellowDog, Mark held Vice-President roles with several US-headquartered organisations and successfully led the launch and growth of companies looking to break into the EMEA region. He built strategic commercial partnerships and business relationships with FTSE 100 companies and European household names. Mark’s breadth of expertise spans the enterprise IT and Cybersecurity space, with sales leadership roles at Arxan Technologies, Illumio and Radiant Logic.

During his 10-year tenure at Arxan Technologies, Mark was appointed as the first salesperson in the EMEA region and was integral to the growth of the company through to its exit via acquisition. Mark and his team established Arxan’s strategy in financial services working with a Global UK-based bank. By time of exit, Arxan’s international business included more than 25 financial institutions as well as global digital media brands, mobile gaming companies and software vendors, leading to a 30x growth in international ARR during Mark’s tenure.

Most recently, Mark was responsible for the creation and expansion of Radiant Logic’s international team. Responsible for all international business, Mark built a regional strategy that included a move toward partner driven business development, recruiting a team and driving commercial execution. He successfully contracted business with a number of enterprises from Aircraft manufacturing to telecommunications and international financial institutions. YellowDog’s technology has seen strong traction in Financial Services recently and so Mark’s experience and network here is invaluable.

Mark commented: “I am thrilled to be joining the team at YellowDog. Over the last decade I have seen companies struggling to transform their digital footprint and manage compute resource across on premise, hybrid and multi-cloud environments. With the advent of AI and an increasing requirement for ever more complicated simulations and modelling in a variety of sectors such as Financial Services, Engineering and Life Sciences, businesses need YellowDog to better manage their compute investment more than ever. I am excited to be driving the commercial growth of such an exciting company.”
