Engage Mark
Keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, and podcast guest — bringing 30 years of pre-sales and digital identity expertise to your audience.
Send a Speaking EnquiryMark Perry has spent thirty years in the room where technical expertise meets commercial outcome — as a pre-sales practitioner, solutions architect, and customer-facing leader across Netscape, IBM, Oracle, Ping Identity, and Biza.io. That career — including his first C-level role as Chief Growth Officer at Biza.io, and current advisory work in Verifiable Credentials — is the foundation of Architecting Influence.
He is also one of the Asia-Pacific region's most experienced voices on digital identity and open data — a former member of the Australian Government's advisory committee for the Consumer Data Right (2018–2020) and a long-standing identity industry contributor. His commentary is grounded in real-world policy, enterprise implementation, and the evolving needs of consumers in a data-driven world.
Three areas of deep expertise
Architecting Influence in Pre-Sales
The four-stage framework — Ground, Orient, Elevate, Anchor — that turns technical experts into trusted advisors. Based on the book and course at architectinginfluence.com.
From Expert to Trusted Advisor
Why technical knowledge is only the price of admission — and what it takes to become the person clients call first. Discovery, empathy, storytelling, and long-term relationship strategy.
Digital Identity
From workforce identity architecture to consumer identity, covering the full stack of modern identity systems — including federation, SSO, passwordless authentication, and open data frameworks.
