About Mark
I possess extensive experience as a chief executive and chair of a Board of sizeable, complex organisations. Whilst in leadership terms this has been confined to the public sector, success has relied on forging strong, mutually beneficial relationships wiith both private and public sector partners.
Invariably this has also called for strengthening strategic alignment and the relationship between strategy and delivery; enhancing governance, assurance and risk arrangements; workforce and stakeholder engagement, reputation management, and financial and other resource optimisation.
I have worked in different governance settings and with a range of regulatory bodies.
I have led in crisis and in highly demanding, dynamic scenarios and lectured others on how best to do so.
I have also had a great deal of exposure to designing and delivering executive selection processes and coaching, mentoring and supporting peers.

Mark has a number of years of impeccable public service with the highest level of integrity. I had the pleasure and privilege of working for Mark as a non-executive director in a very complex organisation. He epitomises the meaning of the Nolan Principles in his commitment to openness and transparency, leadership and accountability in particular. I would have no hesitation to endorse Mark as a Board member - he would be an asset to any organisation.
