Mark A. Ellis is a native of Natchez. He is the son of Willie Joe and Estelle Ellis.

After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, he earned several promotions throughout his 11 productive years, under the employment of Pitney Bowes, Inc., a Fortune 500 Company. Pitney Bowes Company provides a comprehensive suite of mailstream software, hardware, services and solutions to help manage the flow of documents, letters and packages into, within and out organizations of all dimensions.

In the history of Pintey Bowes’ 86 years of professional nationwide services, Mark, 35 , became a sales professional. Within five years, he worked his way into management. He then, in an eight-year tenure, progressed to general management.

At present, he is the first youngest — ever after 10 years, to be endorsed as vice-president of Pitney Bowes’s Field Operations Southern Division.

Ellis resides in Baton Rouge, La., with his loving wife Mary and three children, Mark Jr., Markayla, and Madelyn.
