He oversees a number of HFL’s venture capital funds as well as working with the wider fund accounting team. Mark also provides invaluable guidance and training for HFL’s trainee fund accountants.
In his new role, Mark will hold line manager duties and take the lead on monitoring the day-today activities of the team.
