Mark Stiles

Mark was born in Harrow in the northwest of London and moved to Yorkshire after graduating from King’s College. His early career included growth-focused roles with engineering, finance, strategic marketing, and corporate development dimensions. The initiatives he led spanned from minor capital projects, through multi-industry organizational reengineering programs, to complex strategic off-balance-sheet investments. He moved to Atlanta in 1992 to identify and exploit corporate business opportunities in the US market.

The consulting and leadership roles that followed enabled Mark to apply his unique combination of skills and experience to help both large and small businesses meet their development potential.  He is pragmatic, accustomed to winning support for growth and change initiatives and expects to be held accountable for their implementation.

In 2010 Mark stepped down from directing the business he had grown from nowhere to being the dominant, most respected, and most profitable organization in its market and eased into retirement.  Since he has remained active in local and international business development in a variety of advisory positions.  He has an avid interest in helping non-profit organizations use contemporary business techniques to improve the performance of their social programs.

Mark is married to Robbie.  They have lived in Brookhaven for over 20 years and currently share house with two cats, a collection of model trains, and four motorcycles.
