Mark Albion received his post-secondary degrees at Harvard University, including a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, a Master of Arts and a Doctor of Philosophy in Business Economics from Harvard University and Harvard Business School. His doctoral thesis received the American Marketing Association's award for Best Doctoral Dissertation of 1981.
Mark Albion took various marketing positions at Fortune 500 companies, including Procter and Gamble and Coca-Cola; marketing professor at Harvard University for twenty years; private marketing consultant. Since 1986, he has given over 625 speeches at business schools and universities on 5 continents. In 1993, Albion and a few other SVN members launched with 13 MBA students Students for Responsible Business (SRB). SRB was renamed Net Impact in 1999. Albion is heavily involved in interfaith religious events, as a teacher and participant, and most significantly in adult Jewish education, earning a two-year degree from Hebrew College in 2002.
Albion became a prominent representative used by the Jewish Reform Movement's adult education Meah program 2003–2007. From 2009 to 2010, he served in the Office of the President at Babson College to help integrate social values and sustainability into the college and founded the inaugural Ashoka Changemaker Campus Team. After twenty years at Harvard Business School, Albion decided to give up his teaching career to focus on creating socially responsible business networks. Albion has formed the You & Company, an employment firm that seeks to find MBA’s jobs with socially responsible employers. In 2011, Albion co-founded with neuroscientist Dr. Mrim Boutla, More Than Money Careers, which provides an e-learning, self-leadership career platform to help students, alums and professionals get clear, connected and hired for well-paying social impact jobs that fit their values.

1981Being a young professor, Mark Albion never forgot his roots in the social idealism of the 1960s. “I detested Western capitalism,” he wrote on the Time Warner Bookmark Web site. “I had never really lost the ideals of the 1960s. I just wanted material comforts.”
Albion is the author of several books concerning living a life of service, discussing leaving what you know to find what you love, imbedding what you love into your career, and developing the skills needed to scale your passion and serve others.
Quotations:
"Don’t get really good at what you don’t want to do – Many times, we are told that we are good at something, and that’s that, we keep doing it even though we might be passionate by something completely different."
"Money doesn't talk, it swears - Any life plan must include how you come to terms with money and how much is enough; while we are spiritual beings, we live in physical, material form that must be acknowledged."
"Live a life, not a resume - What you believe is your safest career move may be your riskiest. What is safe is following what you believe is your destiny; what is more risky is selling out for money and power that takes you in another direction."
Albion introduced ethical questions to his classes and expected his students to deal with these issues in depth. He started a student organization, Students for Responsible Business, that eventually expanded nationwide. Yet he became increasingly disillusioned by a field that, he felt, ignored humane values. In Making a Life, Making a Living: Reclaiming Your Purpose and Passion in Business and in Life, Albion articulates his belief in “humanistic marketing.”
Mark Albion is married to Johanna Lee Hughson, and they have two children: Amanda and Nicolette.
