· Councillor, Norland Ward · RBKC London ·
A councillor, scientist, and strategist bringing real-world expertise and deep community commitment to Norland - and to Westminster.

About
"Public service begins with presence: being visible, listening properly, and delivering results that matter to residents."
Marc is a community advocate, scientist, and elected Conservative Councillor for Norland Ward in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. He holds a PhD in Clinical Neuroscience from Imperial College London and has spent his career at the frontier of medical research, AI-driven diagnostics, and pharmaceutical drug development.
Alongside his political work, Marc has spent many years in laboratories, boardrooms, and clinical settings, working on treatments for rare neurological diseases, developing cancer diagnostic tools, and advising the Cabinet Office on artificial intelligence in government. His professional background heavily influences how he approaches his council work: methodically, evidence driven, and with a certain impatience for decisions that are not grounded in facts.
Marc is married and lives in London, though anyone who knows him well will tell you that Cornwall has a strong claim on his heart. He spends as much time as possible on the Cornish coast, where he kayaks, hikes, and does his best thinking away from a screen.
He was born to British and Canadian parents and is fluent in French, German and Italian. His grandparents survived the Holocaust in Auschwitz. His family history is the foundation of everything he believes about freedom, democracy, and human dignity, and why it matters who goes into public life.
Outside his council and political work, Marc is a long-standing volunteer with many organisations, including the Terrence Higgins Trust. He serves as Deputy Chairman of the LGBT+ Conservatives. He is also, to the occasional surprise of people who know him primarily as a scientist, a former professional model, with campaigns for fashion houses such as Hermes, Ted Baker and Eton. He is a Parliamentary Party Candidate on the Conservative Party's national Approved Candidates List.
