Procurement Associate Director, Jazz Pharmaceuticals

With a PhD in Organic Chemistry, Mark made his way into procurement thanks to a technical career path rather than the more typical commercial one. After eight years in active ingredient manufacturing with Novartis, he joined the UK-based GW Pharmaceuticals in 2015, helping to set up the third-party manufacturers for their first product for US commercial supply.

Since the acquisition of GW by the Dublin-headquartered Jazz Pharmaceuticals in 2021, Mark now leads category procurement activities across the highly regulated areas of Pharmacovigilance, Regulatory Affairs and Global Medical Affairs.

Based in Southeast England, Mark balances family life with following the mixed fortunes of his soccer team Fulham, whilst maintaining a keen interest in the Irish sports of Gaelic Football and Hurling.
