For the past 40 years Mark has had an extensive global career as a C-Suite executive and Director of major financial services organisations in Sydney, Hong Kong, London and Cape Town.  Mark has generally been “the only gay in the village” which has made him passionate about improving the participation of the talented yet often overlooked  LGBTQ community members in senior corporate leadership.  He has sponsored pride networks with the aim of moving them beyond just cup-cakes to true career development networks. While popular with LGBTQ+ staff this is often met with resistance from his C-suite peers.

Being orphaned in his teenage years and from a working-class background - Mark developed a strong community focus and has been a Director of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Business Association, the Performance Space and the National Association for Visual Arts (NAVA) to name a few.  In 2018, Mark was named one of Australia’s Top 50 LGBTQ+ Role Models by Deloitte and Google.
