Background

About Mark Jukes

Mark's career began with the UK Government; including time in The Rt. Hon. Alan Clarke MP’s Private Office when he was the Minister of State for Defence Procurement. Following this, and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Mark was then part of the team instrumental in organising the UK’s support for Poland, Hungary and the Czech and Slovak Republics joining NATO as well as travelling extensively to build wider defence relations across the whole of Central and Eastern Europe.A career in the Executive Search industry followed, during which Mark assumed a variety of roles of increasing importance, culminating in his co-founding of Elbrus Partners – a global financial markets search firm, with whom he is still a Partner, and which advises the Boards and C-Suite Executives of some of the world’s leading financial institutions on both their human capital and strategic growth opportunities.Based primarily between Tokyo and London, his involvement with Vanuatu and the Commonwealth Pacific Climate Fund brings Mark full-circle to a role combining government relations and commercial consultancy and we benefit from his extensive global network of contacts built as a result of a thirty years’ plus track-record in international business.In 2010 Mark was granted the Freedom of the City of London by the then Lord Mayor of London, Nicholas Anstee. This is an ancient honour afforded notable community figures, and is a tradition dating back to 1237.
