Who is Mark Eve?
Entrepreneur.
International business leader.
Mark Eve is a British entrepreneur and international business leader with more than 25 years of experience building businesses, expanding into new markets and identifying opportunities for growth and value creation. From New Look and 3INA to Global Retail Forum, TAIU and Método, he connects people, capabilities and ideas to create value and turn possibilities into action.
Background
Corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, investment and advisory.
Mark has founded, built, advised and invested in businesses across consumer brands, retail, beauty, wellness, hospitality and international development.
A consistent thread throughout his career has been seeing possibilities that are difficult to see from inside an organisation, then bringing together the people, capabilities and partnerships needed to turn them into something real.
Increasingly he is applying the same thinking to a larger question: how can businesses, government, entrepreneurs, universities, investors and industry combine their capabilities more effectively to create innovation, productivity and economic growth?

The question behind the work
What aren't we seeing?
Because sometimes the greatest opportunities are not created by doing more of what already exists, but by seeing what could exist instead.
