FICRS BED (Hons)

Mark is both a qualified educator and accredited CSR professional. He began his career in teaching and community project management over two decades ago, and in the time since has honed his skills in a huge variety of teams; including charities, governments, schools, consumer healthcare and the music industry. 

Mark’s passion for CSR comes from a first-hand experience that the common strength shared by all successful organisations is a sense of community and responsibility. He has worked in CSR for almost 20 years, 10 years of that based in East Africa where he pioneered partnerships with Global corporates, multinationals and others. 

He has used his experience to develop a CSR coaching program to help businesses and organisations to engage their teams, develop their communities, and grow together with a common sense of purpose.
