Mark Evans
Managing Director - EMEA
After more than 30 years of experience managing or consulting to telecommunications companies, Mark Evans correctly predicted nearly a decade ago that the growing number of telecom services had the potential to make telecom bills impenetrable and telcom expenses unmanageable for corporate clients. To address that emerging need, Mark and co-founder Terry Healy pioneered software and services that would not only give clients visibility into their increasingly complex telecom expenditures, but that would also provide them the technology tools to orchestrate a wholesale business process change to permanently understand and control those expenditures. The 1997 founding of Quickcomm as one of the first successful Telecommunications Expense Management (TEM) companies not only helped give rise to a new class of products, but also shaped the development of a new market. As Quickcomm's Managing Director - EMEA, Mark is responsible for the strategic development of the business in Europe.
Prior to establishing Quickcomm, Mark served in senior management in or as consultant to a number of telecommunications companies, amassing 15 years experience in the telecommunications infrastructures and cost models of blue-chip companies. He was also the Managing Director of ICC Telecommunications, a telecom consulting engineering firm; Asia Pac Telecommunications Manager for NatWest Markets, Senior Consultant with Amos Aked Swift Pty Ltd; Project Manager - NEC Australia, and Telecommunications Manager with BR Telecommunications UK.
