With a natural curiosity, Mark is an enthusiastic student of organisations, and his consulting work has taken him around the globe to cities such as Sydney, Dayton, Luanda, Reykjavik, Moscow and Port Louis.

Having witnessed the best and worst of leadership and organisations, Mark is a passionate advocate of organisations that enable individuals to connect and flourish through value creation.

At PW he advised private and public sector clients on business and organizational change issues arising out of privatisations, restructuring programmes and mergers and acquisitions.
