Mark I.

Global operations executive, public-company board leader, and Fortune 500 C-suite operator with deep expertise in large-scale supply chain transformation, enterprise governance, and people-centered leadership. As Chief Supply Chain Officer at Best Buy, I lead global, end-to-end supply chain operations spanning logistics, trade compliance, transportation, and final-mile fulfillment—supporting a $40B omnichannel enterprise serving millions of customers across digital and physical platforms. My focus is on building resilient, data-driven operating models that deliver speed, reliability, and customer trust at scale. In parallel with my executive responsibilities, I served as a Board Member of Hanesbrands Inc. (NYSE: HBI), a publicly traded global apparel company that operated as a Fortune 500 enterprise in prior years and was acquired by Gildan in December 2025. In this role, I contributed to corporate governance, executive oversight, enterprise risk management, and long-term value creation, partnering closely with fellow directors and management through periods of transformation and market complexity. Earlier in my career at Best Buy, I held enterprise leadership roles across organizational effectiveness, talent acquisition, talent management, and culture, helping shape workforce strategies for more than 125,000 employees. These experiences reinforced my belief that sustained performance is achieved when disciplined execution is matched with intentional investment in people and leadership capability. My leadership foundation was forged through eight years of active-duty service in the U.S. Army, followed by senior leadership roles at Baxter Healthcare, Cummins, Target, and Corporate Express, where I led complex operations, navigated regulated environments, and built high-performing teams across global supply chains. I am deeply passionate about developing leaders, removing barriers to performance, and building organizations capable of enduring change—in the boardroom and across the enterprise. Mark holds a bachelor’s degree from Fisk University and an MBA from Franklin University. He was commissioned through the ROTC program at Vanderbilt University.
