Mark Anderson Biography

The Strategic News Service® (SNS), www.stratnews.com, is led by Mark Anderson. Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Mark Hurd, and other industry executives and investors in computers and communications read SNS, which was the first subscription-based newsletter on the Internet. Mark is the founder chair of the Future in Review® (FiRe) Conference, which was named the greatest technology conference in the world by the Economist, as well as SNS Project Inkwell, the first worldwide collaboration to address technology design improvements for one-to-one computing in classrooms. He is the creator of two software businesses, a hedge fund, and Washington's top technology investment convention, the Washington Technology Industry Association Fast Pitch investment event. Mark was the first to anticipate the global liquidity collapse on CNBC Europe in March 2007, in London. He is most renowned for his correct forecasts of major technology industry changes. He correctly anticipated Steve Jobs' return to Apple before Steve was aware of it, as well as the future popularity of the CarryAlong format, which today includes iPads and Netbooks and is the fastest-growing computer category. His 10-year accuracy percentage, as evaluated by the public, is above 94 percent. Mark was at a meeting with 30 senators on September 11th, lobbying for a new national broadband policy. In the aftermath of the 2001 anthrax attacks, he produced an SNS Project Intelligent Response pamphlet and hand-delivered it to important members of the Senate and Administration, marking the first systematic attempt by the technology industry to combat terrorism. AORTA (Always On RealTime Access), a concept coined by Mark, became the name of Europe's first broadband wired network. His interest in theoretical physics led to work on Resonance Theory, which was the first to describe a version of String Theory as a Theory of Everything, which he submitted in 1979. Mark sits on the advisory board of the UCSD Calit2 Laboratory and advises OVP Venture Partners, Crowd Trust, and the mPedigree Network. Fortune named him one of the "100 Smartest People We Know." When Michael Dell reclaimed control of his firm, he engaged Mark to assess the company's operations and prospects, as well as provide recommendations to the management team. Mark has advised Orange, T-Mobile, Cap Gemini, Symantec, Hewlett-Packard, and other prominent global technology companies at the board level. Mark has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, and the New York Times, as well as on BBC World News, BloombergTV, CNBC, and National Public Radio. As a guest of the US Embassy in China, he recently lectured around the country. He is also the founder and chair of the Orca Relief Citizens' Alliance, which was formed to lower resident killer-whale death rates in Puget Sound. Mark has also been working with leading global technology businesses and government agencies in the United States, Europe, Canada, and Australia to stop nation-sponsored theft (and compelled disclosure) of crown-jewel IP as the creator and current head of the IP Protection Alliance. Mark is a sought-after speaker at international business meetings and conferences, as well as a top-level strategic reviewer for management teams. Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Symantec, T-Mobile, Warburg Pincus, Orange Communications, and the Free State of Saxony are among the businesses and countries engaged in software, computer, and telecoms expansion.
