Marcus is a partner and leads our Public Sector Practice.

Marcus works across government and the wider public sector on the appointment of senior figures from the private sector in functional leadership, technical specialist, infrastructure, real estate and commercial disciplines into opportunities that have a real impact on public services.

Prior to joining the firm Marcus worked as a Senior Civil Servant, most recently in the Cabinet Office where he designed and directed a ground-breaking campaign to simultaneously recruit over 20 Directors into departmental lead commercial roles. This campaign was instrumental in changing how the Civil Service engaged executive search partners, a process in which Marcus played a key advisory role. This blend of insight into the life of Senior Civil Servants, deep expertise in government recruitment and selection processes, and an ever growing and impressive track record in Executive Search has seen Marcus become a leading figure for clients and candidates alike in successfully filling senior public sector positions.

Marcus holds a BA Hons from the University of Dundee.
