Mark Hopkinson

For over 40 years, Mark Hopkinson has been a management consultant, first for a national firm, then for a small independent partnership focused on infrastructure and economic development projects, then as the CEO of an independent manufacturing firm, and finally as an independent oriented to mitigation of climate change. His practice has been concentrated in logistics, operations and financial planning and implementation, coordinating and integrating disciplines to optimize outcomes. He was one of three consultants retained by a consortium of major public OEMs (3M was the lead client) to identify and develop methods for perpetuating innovation in large organizations. Over the years, he has been a speaker at seminars on change management and strategic growth.

His association with EcoMotion dates back to 2010, when he undertook to develop “going green” business with corporate clients and not-for-profit institutions. He has developed general models for accurately assessing the viability of solar installations and for transparently determining “who gets what when” in complex multi-party installations.

In the past five years, he has been engaged in multiple projects, in the role of principal or consultant, bringing innovative products and processes to market that address environmental issues. Current initiatives include a novel low-cost technology for removing nutrients from wastewater and development of a line of solar-powered refrigerators for residential and medical applications in less-developed countries.
