Mark Hemphill

As Partner Product Manager Mark is responsible for envisioning and prioritizing a product backlog with a specific focus on building, improving, and monetizing SpryPoint's key vendor partnerships. A disproportionate amount of his work, recently, has involved leading SpryPoint's GIS integration roadmap and learning how GIS is evolving into a mission-critical platform for modern utilities. Mark has gained extensive hands-on experience working with Esri’s ArcGIS platform, with a particular focus on the Utility Network (UN) model for electric and water utilities. This experience has deepened his understanding of geospatial data modeling, service-based architecture, and how modern utilities can use GIS not just for mapping—but as a core operational and analytics platform.

As the sole founder of ScreenScape, Mark played a leading role in the conception and bootstrapping of the business from its inception, in crafting its pioneering gotomarket strategy, in catalyzing an accelerated growth phase through the late 2010s, and in architecting a successful exit in January 2021. Over the years Hemphill adapted his role as the company evolved. He has held various senior leadership positions including Chief Product Officer, Chief Growth Officer, Chairman of the Board, as well as CEO. *ScreenScape was acquired by Spectrio January 1st, 2021.* ScreenScape makes software that helps businesses connect and control screens over the Internet. Using a simple plug and play device, ScreenScape customers can turn any screen into a connected digital sign. Once a screen is connected it can be updated, monitored and managed over the Internet using ScreenScape.com. Brand marketers and retail networks use the technology to publish digital signage content on screens inside their stores. Health clinics, university campuses and other kinds of venues use it to engage and entertain their visitors. It’s part of a growing technology arena called place-based media that is rapidly turning TV screens outside the home into location-specific media channels.
