Mark Carlson Joins @NanoLumens
Gail Chiasson, North American Editor
Mark Carlson has joined NanoLumens, Atlanta, as General Counsel and vice-president of strategic initiatives, reporting directly to Rick Cope, CEO of the manufacturer and marketer of visualization solutions company.
The appointment underscores the importance of having General Counsel that is broadly experienced in working with rapidly evolving globally focused knowledge-based companies.
“The role of General Counsel has changed dramatically over the last 10 years and, increasingly, a company’s General Counsel is being called upon to play a more important role in shaping how businesses operate, managing different kinds of risk, and guiding corporate conduct overall,” says Cope. “Mark has both the legal and general business background we need at this critical juncture in our growth trajectory. He brings both the legal and strategic business acumen to our senior management team that will help us to achieve our long-term growth objectives.”
Before joining NanoLumens, Carlson served was corporate/M&A group chair at Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, a large law firm and lobbying group. He held various positions at that firm for almost 11 years before his recent move to NanoLumens.
He has also served as director of business development at Fantasma Networks, a Silicon Valley wireless start up; as an attorney at Shearman & Sterling; and as a consultant at the Boston Consulting Group.
