One of two founding Executive Directors of Ellington Savage and an international Executive Search professional with 31 years’ experience and a strong focus on the financial services sector. Specialties: Cross border senior level appointments in financial services, energy and resources and aviation. Functional exposure has been diverse across both line operational leadership roles and support areas, including finance, human resources, technology, risk management, marketing and distribution and project management. Most if not all search assignments involve an international component.An additional specialist sector expertise includes the golf industry where Mark has recruited internationally for a number of Australia's leading golf clubs in Sydney for a range of senior leadership roles in all areas of golf club operations. This in turn has led to the foundation of EnvoyGolf in September 2019, which is a purpose built vehicle to serve the golf industry. The first initiative launched in a pilot program this year has been to help solve an industry wide problem for golf clubs in Australia and New Zealand. And that is sourcing the additional course maintenance staff required to handle the increased work load of the growing season. We are solving that through sourcing experienced green keepers out of Scandinavia and already in the inaugural 2019/2020 season have a number of leading golf clubs participating, including New South Wales, Avondale, Mona Vale, Terrey Hills, Killara, Strathfield and Twin Creeks in Sydney, Cape Wickham in Tasmania and Royal Auckland in New Zealand.
