Mark Kraft

Mark was attracted to Velentium, not only due to his prior career experience with Dan, but also because he believed in Dan and Tim’s vision and values for the company. He was extremely motivated by the idea that his efforts could change people’s lives across the world, which would allow him to have an ever-increasing platform to continue his passion of serving others. Humble Charisma resonates most with Mark. He has always believed that work satisfaction and quality of output depends on enjoying the people surrounding the task. This includes co-workers, direct reports, customers, and most importantly, the people who end up using the product.

Mark believes that there are companies in the medical device industry who have great talent and who leverage it to maximize their profits. On the other hand, there are companies whose core values dictate their internal and external operating procedures. What makes Velentium stand out in his eyes is its ability to not only attract and retain highly talented individuals, but to ensure that those individuals reflect the core values of the company. Many companies struggle to keep talent and values from being overtaken by financial motives, but at Velentium, it is the #1 business proposition to its customers.

In the future, Mark wants to see all employees create and enjoy professionally effective and personally satisfying careers. He wants them to not only enjoy their daily work, but know they are making a difference in the world around them. He believes that if he performs his role properly, people won’t think of their time at Velentium as “just a job”, but an extension of their life. They won’t be solely trading their hours for dollars, but for a cause that is bigger than themselves.
