Mark Parr

After 27 years of service in the British Army, Mark transitioned into the private sector, bringing deep expertise in cyber security leadership and global IT operations. Before joining Buzzacott, he held senior leadership roles at KPMG UK and HFW, and now draws on this experience to enhance the firm's technology, digital, and cyber capabilities.

While remaining digitally curious, Mark strives to focus on the future to understand industry trends, the dynamic technology landscape, and prevailing behaviours. By doing so, he hopes to navigate the most complex issues to deliver business outcomes directly impacting revenue growth while instilling a culture of ‘digital exploitation’ into the organisation.

Mark is passionate about helping teams to grow and develop and use his knowledge to implement competency frameworks that act as a magnet for talent and address the digital skills gap. He is also a champion and industry commentator for greater diversity and inclusion in technology and is incredibly active in promoting the transition and employability of military veterans.

Mark is a Fellow of the British Computer Society and a Freeman in the Worshipful Company of IT.
