Opus College of Business

I'm Victor Palomino.

We continue the conversation on cryptocurrency with Professor Ying Zhang, an assistant professor of finance at the Opus College of Business of the University of St. Thomas in the Twin Cities.

His research studied cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance.

Thank you for coming to North Star Stories.

Mark comes to us with experience in academia and a strong foundation in business analytics, change management, and curriculum development.

He serves as a distinguished service professor and AI faculty lead at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business.

In this role, his focus is on designing and teaching innovative AI courses, training faculty and staff to leverage AI, and contributing to university-wide initiatives in AI's transformative role in education.

Mark previously worked as Chief Data Officer at CaringBridge, where he spearheaded the establishment of their first enterprise analytics function and supported a cultural shift toward a data-driven, customer-centered approach.

What are your thoughts on that? I guess.

I couldn't agree with you more.

I've actually been working with the Schultz School of Entrepreneurship at the University of St. Thomas in the Opus College of Business.

I wrote a piece on how to go from concept to launch in 30 days And the ability, the single largest, by the way, period of time in that 30 days is trying to find the customers and prospects that you want to do that rapid iteration with.
