Councillor, Norland Ward, RBKC London
A scientist and councillor with a record of delivery, ready to put it to work for the country.

About
"Public service begins with presence: being visible, listening properly, and delivering results that matter to residents."
Marc builds things. He has taken an AI cancer diagnostic through FDA clearance, a process where a regulator checks the evidence and sends it back if it isn't good enough. He is Director of Translational Sciences at a major pharmaceutical company, leading biomarker science across drug development programmes. He holds a PhD in Clinical Neuroscience from Imperial College London. Today, he is the elected Conservative Councillor for Norland Ward in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
He came to politics from industry and this is why he believes an argument doesn't count for much if the product doesn't work. That is also the habit he brings to the council chamber where he has no patience for decisions made without evidence or consultation. Marc continues to work on AI diagnostics for cancer treatments alongside his council work.
Marc is married and lives in London. He loves to go down to Cornwall on his weekends. He gets there when work allows, kayaks, walks the coast path, and clears his head away from a screen.
He was born to British and Canadian parents and speaks French, German and Italian. His grandparents survived Auschwitz. This part of his family history is why he takes freedom and democracy seriously, and why he thinks it matters who ends up in public life.
Outside council work, Marc has volunteered with several organisations, including the Terrence Higgins Trust, and serves as Deputy Chairman of the LGBT+ Conservatives. He also spent fifteen years modelling and working in television, campaigns for Hermès, Ted Baker and Eton, and shoots for Harper's Bazaar, GQ and Vogue. He is now a Parliamentary Party Candidate on the Conservative Party's national Approved Candidates List.
