Mark Attila Opauszky is a Canadian technology entrepreneur and executive with over 25 years of experience building companies that solve difficult problems at scale.

Throughout his career Mark has founded and led multiple Canadian companies that achieved global success, delivering innovative solutions to enterprise clients across regulated and non-regulated industries. His approach consistently combines rigorous engineering, data-centric design and — more recently — advanced machine learning and AI to build products that work where it counts: in complex, large-scale enterprise environments.

As the founder and CEO of BPS Inc. Mark created one of the top-ranked global compliance software platforms, used by institutions like Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch. As CEO of PathFactory he introduced the first AI-powered content platform for global B2B marketing teams, earning industry-wide recognition and growing an award-winning business servicing global enterprise brands.

Today Mark serves as CEO of Sparrow BioAcoustics, where he’s spearheading the introduction of groundbreaking tools for detecting cardiac and pulmonary disease at the population level. With its smartphone-based platform, Sparrow is delivering clinically validated, AI-driven disease detection directly into the hands of everyday people — earning the trust of leading hospitals, researchers and patients alike.

Mark’s career is defined by a focus on high-impact solutions that scale — where complexity, regulation and real-world demands aren’t barriers, but invitations to build something better.

Over the past two decades he has served on multiple boards and advised growth-stage businesses across the tech, media and entertainment sectors. His board experience spans roles as chairman, independent director and executive director, including participation on governance and strategy sub-committees. Mark also mentors CEOs and emerging tech leaders.

A survivor of a near-fatal battle with acute septic shock in 1999, Mark is a multiple amputee who regularly speaks and writes on patient advocacy, early disease detection and adaptive living.
