Top SchoolMark Hougaard is a senior development manager with nearly 15 years delivering digital products and 11 years of hands-on engineering experience, blending a 12-year background in UX design with recent leadership as Engineering Manager and Technical Product Lead. He builds high-performance teams grounded in trust and mutual accountability, consistently delivering on time while aligning technical feasibility with strategic product goals. At MapsPeople he helped scale the company through product-led engineering—driving major web and mobile apps, Mapbox integrations, 3D indoor mapping, and a widely adopted Map Template for Web that became a commercial enabler. He also led spatial transformation and automation initiatives, doubling map digitization output through data-driven processes and ML-enabled tooling for global clients. Comfortable translating user-centered design into production-grade systems, Mark excels at cross-functional collaboration with Product Management and external partners to unlock practical automation and AI opportunities. Based in North Denmark, he pairs a Copenhagen Business School MSc with a pragmatic, speed-focused mindset—“it never gets easier, you just go faster”—that shows in both delivery cadence and team culture.
