Mark S Wood

Mark has worked most of his career on or near the ocean. He is a product innovator and designer who specializes in studying how users interact with complex instruments, in order to simplify their lives.
Mark graduated from UNB with a BSc and MSC in Electrical Engineering, and has lived in the UK, Switzerland and Texas before coming home to raise his family on the shore of the Bay of Fundy.
He started Ocean Sonics in early 2012 to make and sell the icListen Smart Hydrophone, a unique instrument that adds value to sound recordings as it collects them. Users are scientists, operators, surveyors and seismologists located in Canada, USA, Europe, Asia and Australia.
The company moved in early 2019 to a purpose built facility to increase capacity as the company grows. The company’s strategy is to grow by introducing innovative ocean products focused on customers needs.
Ocean Sonics is proud to be a B-Corp since late 2016.
