What people say about me
“There are very few people who maintain the high standards and energy to achieve them that Mark is able to do on an ongoing basis. His desire to bring people along with him and develop their levels of thought, skill and passion is unbelievable. He never relents in pushing for the very highest levels of achievement in a positive, encouraging and supportive manner.”
R.Seddon, Managing Director MRK Associates
​
“Mark is an extremely rare talent as a performance and leadership consultant - he is infectiously enthusiastic, keenly observant, and thoughtfully empowering. His enthusiasm is key to motivating people and he leads by example, celebrating positives and repositioning negatives as challenges to be risen to and overcome. He observes keenly what's going on in chaotic situations, particularly in how people interact with each other and the nuances of their behaviour, understanding the underlying reasons behind their decision making. And rather than dictate the best path forward he empowers people to come to their own conclusions - which means they stick to them.”
T. Lloyd-Evans, Director Montagu Private Equity
​
​

On top of that Mark has a strong international perspective, particularly related to cultures, behaviours and what makes commercial teams tick.”

​
“Mark was always a great coach for the people that worked in his teams or with him, and genuinely wanted to support their growth - trusting, empowering and guiding in the right way. He was crucial to the success of several very relevant strategic B2B partnerships in France and Italy, leading the collaboration of commercial teams across different cultures as well as ensuring the operational 'nuts and bolts' of the partnerships were put in place to function.”
