Mark Vegh

GGI Partner

Mark Vegh is a communications and leadership development specialist. Over the past 20+ years he has coached 1000s of leaders and executives around the world, helping them build executive presence and personal brand, enhance their communication skills and grow their impact as leaders. He works internationally across sectors and his clients range from Fortune and FTSE 100’s companies to start ups.

“The most impactful coaching that I’ve experienced in my 30+ year career. If someone were to ask me if I was limited to choose one coaching program for my employees what would it be? Without any hesitation I would choose Mark’s program hands down.”

Robert Aiken, Exelon USA. Vice President.

“Mark’s results speak for themselves: across the organisation people feel privileged to have the opportunity to work with him. I have worked with Mark for many years now, across two organisations. He has coached all levels of our people: Senior Directors through to Graduates, in 1:1 session and in groups, and the feedback is constantly positive. Mark creates an open and supportive environment, so he is able to very quickly start work on people’s areas of development and makes the experience pleasurable and meaningful, which is why everybody that I have asked him to work with recommends him on to others.”

Justina Moores. UK HR Leader, Fortune 500 Global Healthcare.

“Mark’s coaching will challenge you to re-appraise your approach to how you communicate, how you present yourself and how you think about building your brand as a leader. Over the past 10 plus years, I have recommended many people to Mark to help them build these skills. People really appreciate his passion, commitment and an approach which identifies, very quickly, what you need to ‘shift’ in order to increase your impact. You work hard in his sessions and they are hugely stimulating; the goal is always clear - to maximise your impact as a leader, and to ensure that you are seen as you want (and need to be seen) to be successful.”

Alan Millings. EY. Global Leader. Capital Markets.

Mark has extensive experience of coaching executives for critical events (public speaking, new business pitches, investor conferences) and has coached the senior management teams of many PE-owned businesses in their ‘exit’ sales processes (including PE deal of the year – the sale of Cambridge Education Group, in the UK).

“We sought support from Mark to help prepare us for the biggest presentation of our careers: the sale of our business. I found Mark very engaging, knowledgeable and challenging in our individual sessions. He helped me to develop an approach that I felt comfortable with, that played to my own strengths and that I have continued to benefit from to this day. The team sessions with Mark not only helped set us up for success but have had a long-lasting positive impact on how we work together as a team. ”

Declan Doyle. CEO. BIDVEST NOONAN.

“Mark did exceptional work coaching our senior management teams for their sales ‘exit’ presentations and investor meetings. Highly skilled at building the teams’ confidence, presentation and influencing skills, Mark’s contribution was integral in helping shape and bring the content to life; as a result, the teams did an outstanding job showcasing their businesses and their individual capability. I highly recommend his work”

Dr Holger Kleingarn. Managing Dir. HIG Capital.

“Mark has made a lasting impact on my approach to presentation. He coached our team every year in preparing for our annual investor meetings and helped me understand how to really connect with the audience and deliver a memorable message. I had received plenty of professional presentation training earlier in my career as a management consultant, but Mark took my skills to a different level, from developing a story to delivering it with impact. The sessions themselves were highly enjoyable too, I still smile at the memories of our laughing together as we worked our way through. I can’t recommend Mark highly enough.“

Daan Knottenbelt. Partner. Private Equity.

Mark’s insight and experience comes from his work with top tier organisations including: Exelon, EY, KPMG, Shell, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, HSBC, The Bank of England, Vodafone, Novartis, ACCA, IFoA, Royal College of Physicians, Ministry of Defence, Towers Watson, Mercer, Compass Group, Bidvest Noonan, RMESI India, Premier Oil Vietnam, Espresso House (Sweden) and many other leading companies in the UK, EU, USA, APAC and Africa.

“Mark’s coaching had a big impact for me… It made me aware of how I could use my strengths - my energy and passion for what I do - in all my communication and interactions: one to ones, in board meetings, even with large groups. I have taken away lessons that I find myself using on almost a daily basis to help me reach out with my message and get people on board. ”

Stina Moller. CEO. ESPRESSO HOUSE Sweden.

“As I look back over my career Mark has had a very significant impact on my development as a leader. I was introduced to Mark when I was a new member of EYs Global Board. In my role, I regularly had to give speeches and presentations to both small and large groups (sometimes over 1,000 people), run workshops, TV interviews etc and I wanted (and needed) a step change in my presentation and personal projection skills.”

“Mark gave me the confidence and skills to achieve that step change. His enthusiasm and energy are immense, he is a great listener and has a positive manner which put me at ease. I’ve used Mark over many years and also recommended him to many colleagues and without exception all have had a positive learning experience. I highly recommend him.”

Dave Read. EY. Global TAS Leader.

“Our work together was a game changer for me. I am so proud of the things I have accomplished with your guidance. I can’t tell you how much you’ve helped me.”

Pam Spikner. Asst Controller. Hillrom. USA.

Mark lives in London and when not working he enjoys spending time with his family, running, practising yoga, theatre and the visual arts and is a keen Tottenham Hotspur fan.
