After graduating from St Edmund Hall, Oxford, he practised as a lawyer with Freshfields and then founded, built up and sold a successful consulting firm. Elected as the MP for the Cities of London & Westminster in 2001, Mark developed a reputation as an independent-minded parliamentarian and writer, with collections of his essays published by Biteback as Between the Crashes and The Best of Times.

During his political career, he served as chairman of the Conservative Party’s international office and as Minister of State for Asia and the Pacific at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. A prominent supporter of the UK’s membership of the EU, Mark left frontline politics in 2019.

Today, he chairs Capital International Bank and the advisory board of a European family office fund. He is also a non-executive director to three UK-listed companies.
