Mark PECEN

MARK PECEN is a senior technology executive and head of a specialised technology advisory group, Approach Infinity, Inc., with a focus on research, standardisation, intellectual property and commercialisation of advanced technologies.


A recognized thought leader with 35+ years in the ICT industry, Pecen has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Bloomberg, Daily Telegraph, Cybersecurity Magazine and others, and is the author of numerous articles, papers and book chapters.  He is a pioneer in wireless technology and inventor on more than 100 fundamental patents in wireless communication, networking and computing, and is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School of Business and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.


He was awarded the titles of Distinguished Innovator and Science Advisory Board member by Motorola for his foundational research and standardization work on GSM, GPRS and EDGE cellular technologies at the European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI) in France during the 1990s.


He continued to lead work in 3GPP for Motorola on UMTS 3G cellular technology until 2005.  Then, as Senior Vice President, R&D for BlackBerry, he and his division contributed substantially to the work in 3GPP on 4G-LTE cellular technology and standards as well as critical wireless spectrum management in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) in Geneva.


In 2015, Pecen co-founded the ETSI Technical Committee Cyber, Working Group for Quantum Safe Cryptography (TC Cyber WG QSC) and served as Chair for the first 5 years of its existence, producing some of the very earliest global standards on the topic.  He further served as Chair of the Canadian government’s task force on GDPR and served as president and executive advisor for Quantum Valley Ideas Lab in Canada, focusing on quantum radio frequency sensors using Rydberg atoms.


Pecen has served on over 20 advisory and governance boards for public and private companies over the years, including the University of Waterloo (CANADA) Institute for Quantum Computing, and Wilfred Laurier University Institute for Business and Economics (CANADA). He is an investor and advisor to several technology companies and venture funds, and is a general partner of a Canadian venture fund.
