Mark provides Tactical Development with executive oversight and strategic guidance.  His successes in managing development initiatives span over twenty years. Prior to forming Tactical Development he was Director of Corporate Finance with one of Atlanta's leading venture capital firms. Before this he worked on an independent basis to help companies resolve strategic and tactical issues in domestic and international markets.  Earlier he held senior management roles in finance, marketing, and strategic business analysis at Yorkshire Water/Kelda Group PLC, one of the UK's leading utility, engineering and environmental services groups with annual revenues of $700 million.

A former Treasurer and Director of the British-American Business Group, Mark is also known for his support of the Association for Corporate Growth and the French-American Chamber of Commerce.

Mark gained his BSc from King's College, London, in 1980. By 1984 he had earned professional qualifications in engineering and arbitration.  In 1987 he was uniquely selected by Yorkshire Water/Kelda to complete full-time studies at Bradford University's acclaimed Management Center on a fully sponsored and salaried basis. This led to the award of a MBA.

Tactical Development's roots in the US can be traced to Mark's first involvement with international mergers and acquisitions from over thirteen years ago when he moved to Atlanta in 1992 to manage joint development initiatives for Yorkshire Water/Kelda and Hickson Corporation (now Arch Wood Protection, Inc. but then the US specialty chemicals business of Hickson International PLC, a British chemicals business with annual revenues of $550 million).
