A self-made success and transformative force in global business, Mark Barrocas, CEO of SharkNinja, is a testament to the power of conviction, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence.

Under Mark’s leadership since 2008, SharkNinja has evolved from a modest home appliance company into a product innovation powerhouse with $4 billion in annual revenue in 2023, serving hundreds of millions of consumers across 38 international markets and 35 product categories. Mark rallies the company’s 3,000+ associates behind a steadfast commitment to delivering innovation, quality, and value for consumers through every single SharkNinja product. His bold growth strategy is fueled by an unwavering focus on consumer insights and a 24/7 product innovation cycle expertly choreographed by designers, engineers, and strategists across the globe.

Throughout his 16-year tenure, Mark has orchestrated a series of moves to expand and accelerate the business, including taking the company’s former parent public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2017 and listing SharkNinja on the New York Stock Exchange in 2023. His pioneering vision advances the company’s mission to positively impact people’s lives every day in every home around the world.

Mark’s philosophy of “Outrageously Extraordinary” defines SharkNinja’s culture, promoting fearless exploration and ambitious risk-taking. This ethos not only encourages exceptional performance but also attracts top-tier talent as SharkNinja strives to remain at the cutting edge of its industry.

That same ethos also drives Mark’s dedication to philanthropy, sustainability, and inclusion. In SharkNinja’s first ESG Report, Mark unveiled the company’s Positive Impact Plan, which sets ambitious commitments on circular economy and repairability requirements, 100% renewable electricity (Scope 2) usage in 2025 and pay equity and opportunities for all associates regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or other characteristics. Mark also proudly serves on the Board of the JCC of Greater Boston.
