I'm Angela Horvat, founder and managing director of 6 Degrees Media. What I love about Mark is that he's not just a good talker, he's a good listener. He hears my objectives before every conference, he reads the room really well, he prepares and he makes himself available to the other speakers. Whether it's his co-speakers at a round table or the panellists at a conference, that is gold and he proves himself time and time again.

“A standout communicator, event host and an absolute professional.”
