Mark brings over 30 years of senior executive experience to his mentoring work, having held CEO, Managing Director, and President roles across premium, specialty, and value retail organisations in Japan, Australia, the USA, and South Africa. He has led businesses with turnovers ranging from $250 million to $4 billion, with a particular focus on turnaround, repositioning, and strategic growth.

Throughout his career, Mark has operated at the intersection of culture and performance — working with the conviction that sustainable business results are built on people who are trusted, developed, and genuinely empowered. That belief has shaped not just how he leads organisations, but how he approaches the development of the leaders around him.

As a mentor, Mark draws on real-world experience across a wide range of business contexts — publicly listed and privately owned, high-growth and under pressure. He works with emerging leaders and executives who are navigating complexity, building capability, or preparing for their next significant step. His approach is direct and practical, grounded in the realities of leading organisations rather than theory.

In addition to his executive career, Mark serves on boards across retail, technology, supply chain, and not-for-profit sectors, and is an active investor in early-stage businesses. He is committed to developing the next generation of leadership talent and brings that same commitment to his work with Confidere.
