    Mark has spent nearly forty years working within organisations in several areas. This has included roles as varied as financial accountancy, Head of Product Management and Marketing, Head of OD, the management of L&D functions and latterly as a Director of both HR and Operations. Along the way, he has won several internal and external facing People related awards.

Mark has a research project nearing completion on the stories of women’s journeys to reach Board level positions and has a chapter looking at differing academic career journeys published via Routledge July 2023.
