What unites us

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.

Jeff is a PGCert-qualified coach, speaker and author who helps young professionals reshape the stories they tell themselves, unlocking confidence, purpose and potential at work.

Beginning his career as an apprentice, Jeff brings over a decade of experience across HR, learning and development, and talent consulting. He has worked with leading organisations including QA and Multiverse, led large scale apprenticeship and mentoring programmes, and advised high-growth businesses and household-name brands on talent development.

Jeff also served as Young Professionals Leader for an international Chamber of Commerce, building a successful cross-sector mentoring initiative. He holds an MBA from Warwick Business School, and later worked as a leadership, group and careers coach. He is a Spotlight Accredited Practitioner and a TAP-certified mentor.

Jeff also consults for SMEs and co-founds startups, bridging the Gen Z and Millennial divide and helping people thrive in a changing world of work.

Maryna is a psychologist by training, an ICF-ACC career and leadership coach, and an experienced HR leader with more than 25 years across psychology, people, leadership and organisational development.

She is a former Vice President of HR at Carlsberg, where she led people strategies, developed talent and leadership programmes, supported early-career and apprenticeship programmes, and helped managers build effective relationships with emerging talent.

Today Maryna combines this corporate experience with more than 450 hours of coaching professionals and leaders across industries and countries. Much of her current work with Gen Z and early-career professionals gives her a direct understanding of the expectations, challenges and opportunities facing the next generation at work.

Her international experience, including supporting employees and leaders through the impact of the war in Ukraine, has shaped a practical approach to navigating change, uncertainty and complex workplace dynamics.

At The Next Revolution, Maryna helps organisations develop confident emerging leaders, strengthen early-talent pipelines and build workplaces where different generations can work, grow and succeed together. Her approach combines empathy and challenge, individual development and business outcomes.

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.
