Marcus spent twelve years in senior HR and organisational development roles across financial services and professional services firms before discovering he had more to say than any internal strategy document would allow. He retrained as a writer in his late thirties and began contributing to business and careers publications. His work focuses on the human side of professional life — leadership under pressure, workplace culture, how organisations change and what that means for the people inside them. He writes with the authority of someone who has managed teams, navigated restructures and sat on both sides of a difficult conversation. He lives in Leeds with his partner and their border terrier and still consults occasionally when the right brief comes along.
