Kevin Mark-Watts,

Kevin Mark-Watts capitalises on 30 years of senior management and board-level experience to empower business leaders, collaborating with them to develop a sociocultural influence on their mission and vision.

Originally from South Wales and a self-proclaimed non-academic, Kevin spent more than three decades in South East England, where he accrued a wealth of knowledge throughout his career, ranging from Retail Operations to HR Director, and served penultimately as Commercial Director at Crystal Palace Football Club. He then transitioned from his work in Premier League / Championship football to begin his entrepreneurial journey, when he set up his community sport education business in South East London and Kent. In 2022, having scaled this business to over fifty locations, he successfully sold it as a going concern with a substantial return on his investment. It was also during this time he served as a Human Resources strategist to businessman and media personality Simon Jordan.

Currently he serves in a number of senior management meetings as a Non-Executive Director, and is a business mentor and team-building strategist, working in the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) sector. Kevin supports business owners throughout the UK with his mentorship and consultancy on team-building, operations, executive coaching, leadership development, change management, and employee relations. As a member of the Association of Business Mentors (ABM), he also enjoys volunteering on the government and organisation’s "Help to Grow: Management - UK" course.

He has now founded his 'Ten Business Principles' with his bespoke management program and book: "The 10 Ten-Minute Rules." By reflecting on real life scenarios and the authors experience - rather than abstract theories, Kevin provides concrete steps for business leaders to foster efficient communication, align individual and company goals, and combine data driven performance science with behaviour and mindset development. Delivering a business and social blueprint that spans the entire workforce for optimum efficiency, team coherence, and sustainable success.
