Business Wire
Boxlight Corporation (Nasdaq: BOXL), a leading provider of
interactive technology solutions, today announced that Mark Starkey
has been appointed as President. Starkey will lead global sales and
work cross-functionally across operations.
Starkey has a strong industry track record and has proven
himself to be a technology visionary, offering Boxlight a unique
advantage in a fragmented, evolving market. Starkey joined Boxlight
through the acquisition of Sahara Presentation Systems in September
2020, an acquisition that provided geographic expansion into the
EMEA region and a substantially improved financial outlook. He
successfully led Sahara as its CEO through the sale amid
significant market uncertainty, while producing strong financial
performance. Boxlight has provided guidance that it expects the
combined companies to generate greater than $27 million in revenue
and positive Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2020.
“I am thrilled to add Mark’s experience, relationships and
talents to our executive team as we navigate the next phase of
Boxlight, with a specific focus on driving revenues within our
target verticals, improved margins and strong profitability,” said
Boxlight CEO Michael Pope. “We believe Mark is an ideal leader to
help guide the company through the market opportunities ahead as we
continue to disrupt education and corporate environments with
interactive technologies.”
Having graduated with a Bachelor of Science (BSc), Economics at
Brunel University London, Starkey qualified as a Chartered
Accountant with EY before moving into the technology industry 22
years ago. Starkey spent 17 years with Logicalis in senior
commercial management roles including COO and Managing Director
before moving to EMC and Dell where he was initially responsible
for the software business across EMEA before heading up the sales
strategy for Western Europe. Starkey joined Sahara PLC as CEO in
February this year and then joined Boxlight upon merging the
companies in September 2020.
Mark Starkey commented, “I am honored to join the Boxlight
executive team and have the opportunity to lead the global sales
organization as we integrate the Sahara and Boxlight businesses. We
have the best solutions in the market, we have the best sales team
in the industry, and we have a very exciting future as we execute
on our growth strategy”.
