CMBYND Welcomes Mark Jesty as Managing Partner

CMBYND is pleased to announce that Mark Jesty is joining the firm as a Managing Partner.

Mark has served as a member of CMBYND's Advisory Board, helping guide the firm's work across culture, behaviour, transformation, and human performance. In his new role, he will focus on strengthening CMBYND's market presence, deepening client relationships, and supporting the firm's continued growth, with particular emphasis on expanding CMBYND's Culture & Conduct practice.

Mark brings decades of experience in human performance and talent strategy, built through close work with the global CHRO community. As Chief Talent Strategy Officer, he has helped HR and talent leaders move AI from scattered experimentation to an embedded part of how their organisations run. He has chaired the Institute for Management Studies in Canada, helped pioneer the microlearning concept in the early 2000s, and co-founded a software platform creating a marketplace for work, a story he shared in his TEDx talk, "Pack Your Own Ship." He has also studied AI at MIT and applied that thinking directly to building AI-enabled coaching and learning tools.

This appointment marks an important step in CMBYND's next phase. As the firm continues to grow alongside its clients, Mark will help strengthen the connection between market insight, client needs, thought leadership, and practical transformation outcomes, bringing a talent and human-performance lens to the work CMBYND does every day.

"Mark has already made a meaningful contribution to CMBYND as an advisor, and we are excited to welcome him into a broader leadership role." said Chris Crowe, CEO of CMBYND. "He brings a rare combination of strategic perspective, relationship depth, and practical understanding of how organisations change. His leadership will help us continue to grow with intention while staying true to the way we create value for clients."

Please join us in congratulating Mark on his expanded role with CMBYND.
