Bio
Stephen Ferguson
I had the pleasure to work closely with Mark for nearly a year, creating the technology road map for LPCH. It was a period of ambiguity and change as we went through organisational restructures but throughout Mark was the consummate professional and always remained focused on the business needs and his team. Mark led the IT organisation but always behaved as a business leader, constructively challenging other functions while holding his own team to account. His straight bat approach earned him the respect of his peers and his team, and I valued his common sense advice and counsel. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark for an IT leadership role. I hope our paths cross again and I get the opportunity to work with this talented leader.
