Mark is the CEO of a group of companies that design web-based software to support the work of FE colleges. Mark leads a nationwide team who work with both some of the largest college groups and the smallest colleges in the country.

Having graduated with a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mark’s career started as a Software Systems Engineer at GEC Marconi Avionics (latterly BAE Systems). He worked as a member of the Flight Systems division Requirements Team, writing the software requirements for the Eurofighter Typhoon Fighter Jet Flight Control Computers to meet critical safety standards and high-performance avionics engineering. This led to working on the Flight Control Computers of Concorde, Airbus and Bombardier aircraft.

Mark ‘fell’ into the education sector as a guest lecturer at his former college, Bromley, and soon completed a PGCE at Greenwich. It was during this time that Mark identified the need for a better way to measure student progress and performance. This led to his creation of eTrackr-ILP software, which has occupied him ever since.
