Mark’s Work Colleague

“I worked with Mark when he was an intern at IBM UK, in particular at the Wimbledon Championships [2007]. This is a very intense working environment, in a high-pressure public facing situation. We actually sat next to one another and worked very closely in this 14 hour day, 7 day a week project, creating and designing in a new online environment. Mark was a pleasure to work with. He showed a wide range of talents from technical ones to very intricate visual design and creativity. He was also incredibly helpful and willing to take time out to help the extended team and fitted straight into a very varied group of individuals. I was very pleased to see him start an online business subsequently [2008].

For me, Mark is a very talented, very balanced and very genial individual. The pressure we worked under tested people, and he passed. Without his willingness to take his work further, to suggest and innovate, the part of the project we were delivering would not have been such a success. I cannot relate the situation Mark finds himself in with the Mark that I know. My thoughts are with him and I know we will all help him through this in whatever way we can.”
