Biographies

Mark King

Founder LinkedIn

Mark’s life mission is to improve the culture of work and education, where organisations and institutions put people and purpose first.

The young people entering work today have a huge part to play in this. They have the right values to make great leaders, but sometimes need support developing the mindset and behaviours to flourish and lead in work and life. Mark founded The Next Revolution with this mission and has found a team that shares this vision.

Mark is also the founder and host of the 10 Revolutions podcast, a platform for positive, revolutionary ideas and for the people shaping the future of work and society, with a particular focus on the innovative local ecosystem of Oxfordshire. Its guiding principle: “ideas are the most powerful weapon to change the world”.

Mark is a qualified NLP and somatic coach, with a previous 25-year corporate career in procurement, technology and consulting. He is fascinated by what motivates people and the biology behind it, by the movements shaping the future, and by how all these things intersect.

Levi Pike

Sales and Marketing LinkedIn

Levi is driven by the desire to see talented young people and the organisations that need them most find each other, and to help repair a job market that is leaving talent stranded.

He brings experience across fintech and edtech, including commercial and marketing work with Yavrio. Before moving into marketing, Levi worked in both B2B and direct sales, experience that taught him how buying decisions actually get made and keeps his marketing grounded in conversations rather than impressions.

Levi is also the founder of Upshoot Collective, a social content and marketing company that embeds graduate creatives inside SMEs, built on the belief that graduate underemployment and SME growth are two problems with one solution.

He is currently studying Politics at the University of Exeter. Levi is also the treasurer of a football club and a musician.
