With experience in both fund and corporate structuring and administration, Mark also has expertise in listed funds and can be credited with strengthening the Aztec Group’s capability in this area. 

Mark puts his decision to join the Aztec Group down to his awareness of the Group’s infectious culture and the stir it was creating in the marketplace. He explains, “I knew I wanted to work with the Aztec Group because their employees were natural brand ambassadors for the company with their enthusiasm. The growth and product lines also provided me with confidence in the company’s abilities, and I saw exciting opportunities to develop my career with the Group.  I have not been disappointed, and my expectations have been surpassed”.

Prior to joining the Group, Mark spent a number of years living and working in Australia, having moved there was his family in 2006.
