Vice President, Strategy & Analytics

For over 25 years, Mark has worked with Telcos, manufacturers, government agencies, and the investment community. Working directly with senior leaders who share a bold agenda and supported by the unparalleled analysis capabilities of the Cartesian team, Mark facilitates the development of innovative solutions that achieve your organisation’s ambitions, deliver for customers and stakeholders and, critically, are owned by your teams to ensure successful and sustainable implementation.

Mark brings a deep understanding of system thinking and the implications for your organisation, the interactions with other players in the market, technology change and the subtleties of power relationships. As Chair of the Board of an innovative UK University driving the most effective transformation in the Higher Education sector over the last 30 years, Mark understands the criticality of addressing problems not through one-off solutions but as part of a broader strategy that connects the dots to deal with root causes rather than symptoms. From University strategy to delivering a new mobile business for Walt Disney or addressing the challenges of in-building fibre deployment – system thinking works.
