Mark Denton's Biography

Keynote speaker, with vast experience navigating turbulent waters. In his professional sailing career, he’s competed in countless races and sailed over 80,000 miles across the worlds’ most hostile oceans. The pinnacle of this was leading an amateur team to success in the BT Global Challenge round the world yacht race, dubbed ‘the worlds’ toughest’.

But Mark also draws on 20+ years of consulting with some of the worlds’ greatest organisations, helping to reshape their cultures and improve their resilience to deliver better, faster and more sustainably, especially in times of disruption and change. He’s also a sought after and accredited Executive and Team coach, and a non-executive director to two fast-growing start-ups.

It’s the unique combination of this experience that’s encapsulated in ‘Navigate the Storm’ and led to Mark winning a coveted IVCA Gold Award for this ground-breaking real-life multi-media case study. Consequently, he has spoken at thousands of events in over 31 countries, achieving consistent 5-star reviews from all who have been educated and enthralled.
