I’m Mark, a leadership coach, author, and software leader with over 30 years’ experience building high-performing teams across industries as varied as video games, fintech, pharma, and nature advocacy. I’m a Chartered Manager (CMgr MCMI) and a lifelong believer that the best results come not from hierarchy, but from collaboration, clarity, and trust.

My work focuses on helping thoughtful, pragmatic leaders - especially introverts and neurodivergent professionals - grow in confidence, influence, and impact.
