Mark leads Oliver Wyman’s Finance and Risk practice in Europe and is based in London. He advises financial institutions on strengthening resilience and navigating increasingly complex financial, non-financial, and compliance risks.
Originally from South Africa, Mark moved to the UK as a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford, where he completed an MPhil and DPhil in Financial Economics. He later served as a Research Fellow at Oxford’s Centre for Corporate Reputation, focusing on conduct and conflicts in banking, themes that continue to shape his client work today.
Mark’s expertise spans conduct, culture, governance, and risk management. He works with clients across organizational structures, processes, controls, and culture, helping them understand where they are resilient, where they may be exposed, and how they can prepare for emerging risks.
The financial services ecosystem is changing and fragmenting, with new entrants and propositions that require new technology and smarter use of data. This brings another set of risks. We’re here to help clients understand these and be prepared for all eventualities
Beyond his client work, Mark serves on Oliver Wyman’s Inclusion Council and is an Executive Sponsor of GLOW, the firm’s LGBTQ+ colleague network. He is committed to helping create an environment where all colleagues can thrive.
Mark encourages those entering consulting to embrace the breadth of experiences the profession offers and learn from different projects, sectors, clients, geographies, and teams.
Outside of work, he is a classically trained musician who enjoys playing the piano and long-distance running.
