Mark Tomaszwicz

Mark Tomaszewicz is on a quest to prove success in business is best achieved through a connection to meaningful work coupled with a lot of joy. As the Ambassador of Joy for PIRCH, Mark is responsible for guiding the organization’s culture based on its Elements of Joy Manifesto. Mark also leads the University of Joy, human resources and recruiting at PIRCH.

Mark’s path to people practices was unconventional beginning with a degree from Economics and Philosophy from Claremont McKenna College. Following a six-year stint in investment banking, M&A and corporate finance, Mark found his calling in customer and employee experience design at a boutique firm based in the mountains of Colorado. This work included guiding organizations in the design and execution of experiences and intentional cultures across industries, from five-person to 15,000-person companies. Mark subsequently moved to San Diego in 2009 where he began work at Sharp HealthCare as the Director of The Sharp Experience. While in that position, Mark also explored his passion for connecting people and ideas by producing four TEDxSanDiego events featuring over 100 speakers and inspiring thousands of individuals. When shifting away from work, Mark can be found on an improv stage, out running trials or surfing. He currently resides in La Jolla with his wife Cali, newborn daughter Dylan and golden retriever, Toby.
