PROFILE

Mark Wathen is a purpose-driven entrepreneur, community builder, and seasoned business leader with a passion for creating impact through service and relationships.

Over the past five years, Mark launched and scaled two successful companies—including a home care agency that grew to over 50 employees, and a commercial cleaning company founded during the pandemic to meet an urgent need. He successfully exited both ventures by 2024, marking the start of a new chapter focused on mission-driven work.

Prior to that, Mark spent more than two decades in the Home Décor industry, including 18 years at Artissimo Designs, where he played a key role in scaling the company into the largest wall décor manufacturer in North America.

Today, Mark is a coach and community leader with Dinner Table—a values-based leadership movement that empowers families through financial literacy, value creation, and conscious leadership. In partnership with schools, nonprofits, and local organizations, he helps launch transformational Dinner Table communities that support families in designing their lives with purpose.

Currently, Mark is working alongside various communities to bring Dinner Table to underserved families in Montreal through a 12-month pilot program aimed at helping parents and children become architects of their own future.

At the heart of Mark’s work is a deep belief that strong families build strong communities—and that real transformation begins with connection, conversation, and leadership at the dinner table.
