Mark is a Business and Technology Transformation Director with extensive experience in Europe, Japan and Australia. He started his career in Utilities, Retail and Financial Services, defining and delivering new Sales, Service, and Backoffice processes supported by CRM, Billing, and Self-Service solutions.

He has a strong track record of developing technology and business strategies for clients and then helping bring those strategies to life, combining strategic thinking with hands on change leadership. Guy excels at helping organisations get more from their investments, whether that means developing a technology strategy, redesigning a delivery model, or standing up a complex transformation program from scratch. He is known for bringing teams together across cultural and organisational boundaries to build shared identity and deliver lasting outcomes.
I have extensive relationship management and business management experience, assisting organisations to achieve their strategic objectives by improving their operational efficiencies.
My contributions have been focussed around the analysis of current business operations, identification of improvements required (people/processes/system support), facilitating the development and implementation of these efficiencies, and the management of this change. Managing internal (staff) wellbeing and external (client) relationships is one of my key strengths.
I’ve spent close to 10 years working across SaaS sales and tech recruitment, building strong relationships, connecting great people, and helping businesses grow in both the UK and Australia.
I’m also Head of Talent Acquisition at State of Matter, a boutique management consulting firm, for whom I manage end-to-end recruitment on consulting roles across strategy, process and delivery.
Always happy to chat about what he have going on across both businesses, roles I’m recruiting, partnerships and anything in between!
Joining SofM has been a fantastic career decision, largely due to the strong culture of collaboration and forward-thinking.

It’s empowering to be part of a group that thrives on solving problems collectively and encourages pushing the boundaries.
