A few of our Client Testimonials

Tim Snow
Vice President & CPO
Inmarsat
"I I wanted to acknowledge the difference Mark made whilst working together to set up a Procurement function at Estee Lauder Companies.
Mark's passion, drive, commitment and excellent stakeholder skills helped us accelerate the development of the profile of the function; helped ensure early Procurement involvement and therefore deliver maximum commercial benefit; and his strong people skills helped recruit, train and retain talent.

Gemma Bell
Head of Purchasing
L'Oreal
"Having worked with Mark for over 2 years I honestly can’t recommend him highly enough. Not only does Mark have a wealth of procurement expertise but he also has the interpersonal skills to build strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels. Mark has a keen eye for detail and isn’t afraid to challenge ways of working to delivery value to the bottom line.

James Tucker

At 1st Executive we work with a select group of top tier individuals on a long term basis, whom we know we can trust our reputation across our client base - Mark is certainly one of those individuals. I speak for the whole of 1st Executive when i say that we have no hesitation in using Mark in the future for senior procurement roles. Strong recommendation."

"I worked with Mark during a transitional period when the procurement functions of the four initial member firms of KPMG Europe were merging. Mark demonstrated his expertise across multiple categories, was a respected professional within the team and his stakeholders, and was a pleasure to work with."

"If there is somebody who can implement a Procurement Strategy then it is Mark.
We worked together for 2 years and I was impressed how Mark had been able to operationalize the MSD Procurement Strategy for a complex, international environment such as our Global Content Catalogue. Mark is rigorous in his decisions, creative by providing solutions which make an impact and candid in his communications."
