Mark Gauvain, business development executive, Manufacturing and Tooling, is one of MMT’s new Editorial Advisory Board members.

The next member of our new Editorial Advisory Board is Mark Gauvain.

Mark Gauvain is a business development executive in Manufacturing and Tooling. Previously, he was a senior director of business development for Jabil (St. Petersburg, Florida), a leading manufacturing solutions provider that delivers comprehensive design, manufacturing, supply chain and product management services. 

During 17 years of employment at Nypro, Mark held several positions including global program manager, business manager and director of business development responsible for Nypro’s largest customers representing $300 million in annualized revenue. He also served on several advisory boards in the U.S. and Mexico.

Mark endeavors to bring a global perspective to the editorial advisory board and help mold-building and associated companies craft fresh ideas to enable growth and development strategies in the new economy.

While working for Honeywell Consumer Products (Charlotte, North Carolina)as tool engineering manager from 1995 to 1996, Mark led a small team that opened a successful green-field moldmaking facility in Shanghai, China. Previously, he worked for Massachusetts- and Florida-based injection molding companies.

He has undergraduate degrees in engineering technology and business administration from North Shore Community College and University of Massachusetts. Mark is a journeyman toolmaker and a graduate of The General Electric Company’s Machinist apprenticeship program at the GE Lynn-River Works factory.

Mark endeavors to bring a global perspective to the editorial advisory board and help mold-building and associated companies craft fresh ideas to enable growth and development strategies in the new economy. New business development, account and commercial management are two key areas he will bring value. Additionally, he will offer informed opinions on diversification into relatively new markets such as 5G, IoT, autonomous vehicles, AR/VR and consumer robotics for mold manufacturers.

Outside of work Mark enjoys activities like skiing and ice hockey in the winter and boating during the warmer seasons. Mark splits his time between Jabil’s Silicon Valley facilities in California and his home in Suburban Boston, Massachusetts.
