Mark Christenson

VP, Product Market, Small to Mid-Sized Business at Sovos

As vice president of product marketing for small to mid-sized business (SMB), Mark leads an initiative aimed at better understanding and servicing this unique buyer. His team is charged with designing solutions, setting pricing and developing go to market strategies that help emerging businesses ensure tax compliance from the beginning.

With a passion for understanding customer needs through quantitative and qualitative data, Mark is a firm believer in the concept of NIHITO (nothing interesting happens in the office).

His passion for simplifying the complicated has served him well in building and sustaining relationships with the modern SMB buyer.
