IT Leader Mark Jenkins appointed as Lead Principal at Wavestone US

RADNOR, Pa., Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Wavestone US is pleased to announce the recent appointment of senior IT executive Mark Jenkins as Lead Principal. He brings more than 20 years' experience in data management with a focus on data architecture, data strategy, master data management, performance management, profitability analysis, and customer and marketing analytics. His professional history spans several industries, including financial services, consumer products, defense and civil government, and technology. As a business intelligence (BI) and data management principal, Jenkins is focused on helping clients unlock the power of their data to enable business decisions, identify new opportunities, and create new value.

"Organizations are hungry for new insights but lack the means and methods. At Wavestone, we have the capacity to help clients cut through the complexities, and gain actionable insights and more solid decision-making capabilities," says Jenkins.

Jenkins has held several senior-level positions at Synovus Financial, Fifth-Third Bancorp, and Raytheon. Before joining Wavestone, he served as Senior Director of Banking Application Development and Delivery at Synovus, responsible for the design, development, and support of multiple key platforms used across its branches, including the teller system, consumer and commercial loan underwriting systems, and deposit account opening system. Prior to Synovus, Jenkins was the primary data architect at Fifth-Third Bank and led the business intelligence, data warehouse, master data management, and marketing analytics platforms for the bank. Other career milestones include the full rollout of the Argo banking platform, implementation of a real-time enterprise customer master data system, implementation of a customer data integration, householding, and marketing analytics system, and delivery of multiple BI solutions including large-scale, interactive operational sales dashboards.

Throughout his career, Jenkins has evaluated and negotiated several significant software contracts, including multi-year enterprise hardware and software agreements with IBM. He has recently turned his focus onto the design and delivery of cloud-first data and analytics solutions.
