Mark Essex

He analyses domestic policy and global megatrends and translates their impacts on consumer behaviour, the workplace, supply chains, and infrastructure. In his new role as Course Director for the Family Business Leadership Academy, Mark assesses how those changes will affect next generation of Family Business leaders as they face a world which is diverging from the world the previous generation operated in.

Mark is a disruptive thinker. He edited KPMG’s Reimagine public policy programme, contributing ideas on how to build more homes, make social care better and more productive, eliminate the need for food banks and boost life-long learning.

In Reimagine a digital society, Mark’s film presents a future in which AI makes many more of our buying decisions; he explores what this means for consumer-facing businesses including the 'human' skills required to educate the bots in how to meet our needs.

Always happy to submit his ideas to challenge and debate, Mark is an experienced writer, thinker, keynote speaker, and live broadcast panellist and presenter.
