Mark is a partner in our Energy and Natural Resources Practice, based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Bringing more than two decades of strategic consulting experience to the firm, he specializes in helping clients navigate complex operational and organizational challenges in the mining and heavy industry sectors. His deep understanding of these industries and the continent, combined with his hands-on approach to problem solving, enables him to deliver solutions that not only work on paper but are also effective in practice.
I believe in a pragmatic, results-driven approach. Whether leading a large-scale transformation or advising on critical operational improvements, consulting is more than just delivering a strategy — it’s about making sure it works in the real world
Mark’s on-the-ground knowledge spans 18 African countries, including Botswana, Zambia, Ghana, and further afield, where he has consistently delivered value by navigating the unique challenges and opportunities present in each region. His clients appreciate his straightforward, no-nonsense perspective and unwavering commitment to their long-term success.
Before joining Oliver Wyman, Mark held senior roles at top-tier consulting firms where he honed his strategic and operational expertise. His BSc in Electrical Engineering, together with an MBA from the University of Oxford, gives him a unique perspective on the technical and business challenges his clients face across Africa.
Outside of work, Mark is an avid runner, regularly participating in ultra-distance events such as the Comrades and Two Oceans Marathons. When he is not training, Mark enjoys spending time with his three children, exploring the great outdoors, and indulging in his love for cooking and DIY.
