Mark R. Davidson
President and Founding Partner
Left to his own devices, every day Mark would: 1. Race cars. 2. Take beautiful photographs. 3. Play with his kids. 4. Go back to 1.
However, life is full of compromises, so, instead, Mark comes to Intelliga to engineer brilliant solutions to client challenges.
It wasn’t always like this. Growing up in lively Thornhill, Ontario, Mark was a get-goer from the get-go. He had four newspaper routes. He delivered the Sears catalogs. (Who doesn't remember how huge they were?!) He fished and caught frogs and snakes in the nearby ravines. (He still has some.)
After graduating from the University of Waterloo, which many consider the better version of M.I.T., Mark became a partner at Envise Corporation and a dot.com now in dot.com heaven, before creating Intelliga in 1999.
Mark sees his role as understanding clients’ needs, creative- or program-related, and then providing elegant integrated solutions. And he thinks of himself as the oil that keeps the engine running smoothly. He loves (read: believes it’s his job) to create excellent products.
Which is why Mark’s title should be Chief Engineering Officer.
Mark’s wife, Cristina, is reputed to be a very patient person. His three children, Thomas, Daniel, and Marissa, less so.
