Mark Kane
Innovate UK Business Growth Scaleup Director

Mark’s early career was in Banking before moving into Investment Management. Mark has managed operational teams from large to small through periods of great change in two of the UK’s most well-known wealth management companies. Mark was responsible for managing an ISA plan that was worth several billion pounds, and for an investment helpdesk which administered investments for clients worth hundreds of millions of pounds. He has an Executive MBA, is a fully qualified ILM 7 coach and mentor, served on the board of trustees of a FTSE 250 company pension scheme and was the operational lead for an award winning online discretionary investment service.

After a successful 20-year period in financial services Mark took the decision to set up his own coaching, consulting and advisory peer board business.  Through this he brought business owners and leaders of independently owned companies together in a group setting, similar to a board of directors, where they helped each other to identify opportunities and solve challenges they each face in their own companies.  

Mark supports and coaches his clients through tailored 1-2-1 senior leadership support to assist with strategic planning, operational excellence, exit planning, business sales, change management, team related and leadership challenges.
