About Jon Marks
Jon is an aging hippie nerd who was raised in South Africa and now based in London. He enjoys beer, chess and politics, and is a proud dad to two boys, one girl and a Pugpig.
Jon co-founded Pugpig in 2011, just as the iPad arrived, and has spent the years since helping media brands build the best publishing apps on the planet — and learning to run a company along the way.
Before that, he spent over 15 years building and architecting content management systems in the early days of the internet when Vignette, Documentum and Interwoven were the big things. He ran the technology teams for the largest digital agency in the UK (now DigitasLBi), delivering complex projects for global brands, and later served as CTO on News Corp's Project Alesia — their ambitious (and ultimately ill-fated) attempt to build what might have become Apple News.
