We sat down with him to pick his brains and discuss all things Mark...   What is your current role at Skylight? *I’m the Head of Product - Fixed Income, and my remit is across both FX and Rates. This includes a wide range of vanilla and exotic products across multiple currencies.* Tell us a little about yourself*.  I am originally from Australia where I studied and worked for a few years but living and working in finance in London was in my sights from uni days.  I arrived here in 2001 after an amazing year of travelling and snowboarding around Canada.  I still do some snowboarding but these days you’re more likely to find me motorcycling around the UK and, when time allows, further afield.* *![Bungle_pic_2](https://web.skylightipv.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bungle_pic_2.jpg?width=4032&height=3024&name=Bungle_pic_2.jpg)* What are you currently working on at Skylight? * The biggest part of my remit as a Head of Product is the expansion and development of our services.  I’ve recently been spending a lot of time working with multiple sets of transaction data, which encompass trades and executable quotes from brokers and trade repositories.* *We re-format all of the transaction data so that it can easily be consumed by our clients alongside the consensus results in a single file (or a single page on our website). We also use the data to create reports that calculate observability, liquidity, bid/ask analysis, and validation through back-testing.* And what's your industry experience? * I began my career in an FX product control team at a bank in Sydney, where I focussed on P&L and accounting for 4 years.  When I arrived in London I spent another 2 years working in accounting control before moving teams and spending 4 years working in a valuation control role covering FX Hybrids and Interest Rate exotics.  This role gave me experience in submitting to and consuming consensus data from the customer side.* *I’ve now spent 15 years working for consensus providers and have been at Skylight since August 2021. So overall, I have 25 years’ experience across a period that’s covered everything from the dot com bubble to the global financial crisis to the Covid era.* What's the favourite part of your role? * That’s an easy one to answer!  My favourite part is definitely interacting with clients - whether from a support point of view or expanding the product based upon customer feedback.  I also really enjoy building relationships through events outside of the office such as lunches or inviting clients to sporting events.* *![XMAS_Social_4](https://web.skylightipv.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Skylight_IPV_April2023/Images/social/XMAS_Social_4.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=XMAS_Social_4.jpg)* ---   † If you would like to be added to Skylight’s mailing list to receive invitations to our networking events, please email [info@skylightipv.com](mailto:info@skylightipv.com) [![Picture of Admin](https://web.skylightipv.com/hubfs/Skylight_IPV_April2023/Images/logos/skylightipv/favicon.svg) Admin](https://web.skylightipv.com/insights/author/admin) [fixed income](https://web.skylightipv.com/insights/tag/fixed-income), [fx](https://web.skylightipv.com/insights/tag/fx), [interest rates](https://web.skylightipv.com/insights/tag/interest-rates), [expertise](https://web.skylightipv.com/insights/tag/expertise) ![skylight-logo-night](https://web.skylightipv.com/hubfs/Skylight_IPV_April2023/Images/logos/skylightipv/skylight-logo-night.svg "skylight-logo-night") ###### **Discover** - [Expertise](https://web.skylightipv.com/people) - [News & Insights](https://web.skylightipv.com/insights) - [Features](https://web.skylightipv.com/features) - [Contact us](https://web.skylightipv.com/contact) - [Login](https://www.skylightipv.com/auth/login) ###### **Location** 80 Coleman Street London, EC2R 5BJ, UK ###### **Connect** [+44 (0)20 8017 0900](tel:+44%20(0)20%208017%200900) [connect@skylightipv.com](mailto:connect@skylightipv.com?subject=Website%20enquiry) © Skylight IPV Ltd 2016 - 2026 | All Rights Reserved ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Admin", "url" : "https://web.skylightipv.com/insights/author/admin" }, "dateModified" : "2025-11-19T12:29:36.912Z", "datePublished" : "2024-10-09T09:06:51.000Z", "headline" : "Meet our Head of Fixed Income", "image" : [ "https://web.skylightipv.com/hubfs/Skylight_IPV_April2023/Images/headshots/MJ_BW.png" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://web.skylightipv.com/insights/head-of-fixed-income", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://web.skylightipv.com/hubfs/Skylight_IPV_April2023/Images/logos/skylightipv/skylight-logo-day.svg" }, "name" : "Skylight IPV Limited" } } ```
