Mark Collins stands at the confluence of leadership, innovation, and operational excellence. A seasoned executive with more than 35 years of progressive experience, he has devoted his career to optimizing the way healthcare organizations procure, deliver, and manage vital services and products. From his foundational years in the U.S. Army to his current role as Vice President of Business Relations & Corporate Accounts at Organogenesis, Mark’s journey has been one of transformation—both personal and organizational. His drive for efficiency, strategic foresight, and commitment to ethical leadership have made him a recognized and respected figure in supply chain management and strategic sourcing across both public and private sectors.
Mark’s leadership philosophy is simple yet profound: bring clarity to complexity and always deliver measurable value. This ethos took root during his military tenure, where he developed a robust understanding of procurement logistics, field operations, and contract negotiation on a global scale. Serving as a Country Program Manager for the U.S. Army Security Assistance Command, he led international acquisition strategies, interfaced with foreign allies in the Middle East, South Korea, and Japan, and managed multimillion-dollar federal programs in compliance with FAR and DFAR. This early exposure to global logistics and government contracting laid the groundwork for his later success in commercial healthcare.
Upon transitioning to the civilian sector, Mark entered the healthcare ecosystem with HealthTrust Purchasing Group (HPG), where he swiftly ascended through the ranks. His tenure there spanned nearly a decade, culminating in his leadership of a $1.5 billion laboratory portfolio as Director of Strategic Sourcing. His impact was deeply felt—he delivered tens of millions in savings annually, streamlined vendor contracts, and negotiated complex SaaS and IT agreements that served hospitals across the U.S. Mark’s ability to align clinical priorities with fiscal responsibility proved essential to HPG’s success and the satisfaction of its vast membership network.
At HPG, Mark demonstrated a rare talent for balancing technical precision with stakeholder engagement. Whether leading RFP processes, managing board presentations, or negotiating capital equipment agreements with top-tier OEMs like GE, Siemens, and Philips, he exhibited a confidence born of deep domain knowledge and unshakable poise. His peers and partners valued his structured approach, unwavering integrity, and strategic agility—traits that would define his next chapter at Organogenesis.
Joining Organogenesis in 2021, Mark brought with him a reputation for results and a passion for progress. As Vice President of Business Relations & Corporate Accounts, he oversees a portfolio exceeding $300 million in annual contract revenue. Under his leadership, the company experienced a 12% year-over-year growth in contract-driven revenue between 2022 and 2024. He spearheaded the launch of a landmark $750K contract lifecycle management system—Organogenesis’ first—and introduced a Vizient-specific pricing model that generated $6M in incremental revenue in 2025 alone. These achievements not only improved internal efficiency but strengthened the company’s national positioning within the GPO and IDN ecosystem.
Mark’s influence reaches beyond revenue growth and operational enhancements. He is a cultural steward, cultivating high-performance teams and mentoring director-level leaders with a focus on collaboration, transparency, and accountability. As a member of the company’s Senior Leadership Team and Pricing Committee, he contributes to the strategic direction of the business and ensures that each decision aligns with compliance standards, SOX requirements, and customer-centric values.
Throughout his career, Mark has continuously embraced innovation, leveraging data analytics, technology platforms, and enterprise software solutions to modernize procurement and contracting processes. His ability to bridge traditional operations with cutting-edge systems has given organizations a competitive advantage in complex and regulated industries. From the integration of SaaS tools to managing GPO admin fees in excess of $10M annually, he has demonstrated a relentless commitment to operational precision and financial stewardship.
Beyond the boardroom, Mark is driven by a deep sense of purpose and curiosity. He is a licensed pilot and instructor, which reflects his lifelong fascination with aviation—an industry he hopes to serve more directly through advisory roles. His passion for flying mirrors his professional approach: meticulous, measured, and mission-driven. He also brings a global mindset to every engagement, informed by his work across continents and his unwavering respect for diverse perspectives and cultures.
Mark’s educational background further underscores his dedication to excellence. He holds a Master of Science in Management from Florida Institute of Technology, with a concentration in Government Contracting and Procurement. He earned his bachelor’s in Business Administration from Austin Peay State University and completed advanced coursework in Supply Chain Management and Strategic Sourcing at Penn State University. This academic foundation supports his technical expertise and reinforces his authority in both public and private procurement leadership.
