Mark Mytton
Managing Director
With a career that spans corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and consulting, Mark brings a founder-to-exit perspective combined with hands-on experience of due diligence, deal negotiations, and working with large financial and strategic buyers.
His journey began in financial services as an independent financial adviser before moving into time-critical logistics, leading Citipost's organic growth and acquisitions across Asia and representing the region through its acquisition by Consignia (Royal Mail). He later joined DHL e-Commerce as General Manager for Hong Kong and North Asia, where he developed international postal partnerships and alternative delivery solutions working with partners across the region.
In 2005, he founded a logistics business in Hong Kong, building it from scratch to a multi-service logistics and marketing execution business with rapid early-stage revenue growth (£10m+ by year 3), regional operations, and blue-chip clients. Over the following decade he led joint ventures, regulatory approvals, multiple strategic partnerships and various sale discussions with listed logistics and marketing groups, ultimately completing an asset sale to a global e-commerce logistics provider.
He is passionate about helping others achieve a successful exit on their own terms, leveraging his wealth of experience to simplify complex transactions and help navigate the intricacies of exit planning and M&A. He founded Exit Strategy & Solutions to offer discreet, independent support to owners who want to maximise value, reduce risk and stay in control of the exit journey.
Away from work, Mark enjoys staying active in the gym, playing golf or enjoying a glass of Rioja with friends and family.
A message from Mark...
Over the past few years, I've had the privilege of staying close to the action, helping friends and family launch, grow, and successfully exit their businesses. It's been incredibly rewarding to apply my experience, contribute to their strategies, and share those pivotal moments of success (and learn from the tough ones too!). Inspired by these experiences, I decided to launch Exit Strategy & Solutions with the mission to help many more business owners unlock value and achieve their ideal exit, whether through a strategic sale or other tailored solutions.
I'm always keen to connect with other professionals in M&A, tax, legal, accountancy, business mentoring, management consulting, or financial advisory to explore how we can work together.
Likewise, if you're a serial investor, private equity, family office, or high-net-worth individual seeking investment opportunities in profitable, well-established private businesses with a great track record, strong growth potential and fully prepared for their next stage...let's have a conversation.
