A former award-winning journalist, Mark has built a reputation as a leader with a 20-year career at the heart of the global B2B marketing and communications arena.

He's been the 'media', the 'agency' and the 'brand'; has operated within large corporates and startups alike and has raised investment to found and run a successful business.

Mark was editor of Marketing Week magazine and earlier, B2B-focused marketing titles Precision Marketing and Data Strategy and was a business correspondent on newspaper The Sunday Telegraph.

Quitting journalism in search of adventure, Mark went to an agency where he worked alongside genuine advertising legends to create stuff that helped grow some of the world's greatest brands.

Since, Mark has served - either on senior leadership teams in-house or as a strategic advisor - more than 50 B2B technology companies across the world, spanning retail, marketing, advertising, e-commerce, travel, financial services and business operations.

Mark has built (and continues to build) a powerful global network of 'brave' people, including editors of relevant media including B2B Marketing, The

Drum, Digiday, Advertising Week and Marketing Week. Mark also regularly collaborates with leading thinkers and rebels across business, brands and culture. He's hosted two B2B technology marketing podcasts with a total listenership of more than 200,000 and appeared on various others. He's spoken on hundreds of industry stages in numerous countries including the likes of 'Think with Google' in London and 'Viva Technology' in Paris and invented benchmark industry events including Marketing Week Live.

Passionate about coaching and developing others, Mark has mentored for The Founder Institute and was a founding board director, media partner and speaker for The Marketing Academy.

A believer in 'always saying yes', in 2020 Mark performed live comedy improv with nine other chief marketing officers to raise £30k for Comic Relief.
