Mark Mortensen Biography

Mark Mortensen, Ph.D., is a professor of organizational behavior and associate dean of the Middle East campus at INSEAD. Mortensen is recognized for his research on hybrid, remote, and globally distributed work, focusing on how organizations can leverage these models while addressing their inherent challenges. With a background in engineering, Mortensen applies a problem-solving approach to organizational science, specializing in team collaboration, group dynamics, and organizational design.

Before joining INSEAD, Mortensen served on the faculty at MIT Sloan School of Management and McGill University School of Management. His research explores multi-teaming—the practice of assigning employees to multiple projects simultaneously—and dynamic staffing. Mortensen examines how hybrid work influences team dynamics, trust, collaboration, psychological safety, and mental health in the workplace. He has collaborated with companies such as Adidas, Deutsche Telekom, Goldman Sachs, Maersk Oil, SAP, and Qatar Petroleum.

Mortensen's work has received recognition from the academic community, including the William H. Newman Award, Organizational Behavior Division Best Dissertation-Based Paper Award, and runner-up OCIS Division Best Paper Award from the Academy of Management, as well as a Best Paper Award Finalist nomination by the Interdisciplinary Network of Groups Researchers. He publishes in management outlets including Harvard Business Review, Sloan Management Review, and INSEAD Knowledge, and has received honors such as the Beckhard Memorial Prize for outstanding articles on organizational development. Mortensen's insights have also appeared in media outlets such as BBC, Economist, Financial Times, and Fortune.

Mortensen has delivered TED Talks, including at TEDxSydneySalon, where he addressed the complexities of hybrid work and the evolving nature of workplace collaboration. His TED Talk, "Is remote work better than being in the office? It's complicated," has reached a wide audience. Mortensen advises organizations on optimizing employee value propositions, retention, engagement, and performance through data-driven strategies. Through his consulting work, speaking engagements, and publications, Mortensen contributes to the ongoing conversation about the future of work, hybrid work models, and organizational effectiveness.
