Mark Lewis is president of the Louisiana Technology Council. Mark was a technology leader as far back as 1994, when he started the first company in New Orleans to provide internet access to local businesses. According to Mark, "The Louisiana Technology Council is an advocate for the development of the technology industry across the state."
