Mark Schroeder

Competitive Intelligence Manager at Western Digital

I am a Engineering Management Professional. I am highly experienced in creating and leading Competitive Analysis processes and teams, turning data in to information. I’m known for collaborating across all aspects of the business, and then communicating the clear competitive picture to strategic Technical and Marketing functions. I am effective engaging with the individual engineer, and the senior executive. I have multiple proven successes driving design changes, resulting in cost savings of tens of millions of dollars to the corporation. My passion is to use the Competitive Analysis function and my communication skills to make the business win, in the short term and the long term. My wife is from Asia, and I enjoy travelling to Asia to see family, and I am comfortable there. Trying to recreate the cuisine in my own kitchen is a challenge and a hobby.
