Lancashire and Villa fan
Mark is a passionate Behavioural Scientist and a reluctant Finance Professional, and combining these two attributes he’s worked at the heart of high profile and complex organisational renewals and post-risk resets at global companies for over 35 years. These call for an empathic understanding of the contradictory requirements of crisis management, remediation and adaptive transformation. As a ‘critical friend’ to business and functional executives and Boards, he seeks actionable insights into leadership and organisational change, risk, governance and culture. Over the years, the last of these (culture) and the need to lead with care and compassion to achieve anything worthwhile in life, have become Mark’s North Star. It’s no surprise in this context that he loves his work with Kin&Co’s fantastic team. Mark is a Fellow of the ICAEW and member of the Global Association of Applied Behavioural Science. He and Bev live in Wirral and have four fabulous children and step children.
