Mark Hudson

Director of Business and Sales Operations

As director of business and sales operations, Mark Hudson oversees the sales process at Arena Solutions, providing forecasting, analysis and reporting for the organization. He also directs the company’s business operations, which includes the management of contracts, orders and renewals.

From his early experience in retail management, Mark gained an intense customer focus that continues to define his work today. He helps companies increase efficiencies and support revenue growth by designing processes and procedures that consider not only the organization’s needs but also those of its customers and its channel partners. Before joining Arena, Mark worked at Agile Software, where he helped the SME (small and medium enterprise) division increase revenues by 200% in less than two years. When that company was acquired by Oracle, Mark kept sales and services operations running smoothly while successfully integrating them into Oracle’s SME PLM business unit. His more than 25 years of sales and operations experience also includes roles in direct sales, sales management, channel management and business operations at software companies Think3, PeopleSoft and CCI/Triad among others.
