Councillor, Norland Ward, RBKC London
A career built on delivering results, put to work for the community.

About
"Public service begins with presence: being visible, listening properly, and delivering results that actually matter to residents."
Marc is the Conservative Councillor for Norland Ward in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. As part of his role on the Council, Marc sits on the Adult Social Care and Health Select Committee, the Planning Committee and the Planning Applications Committee, and is a trustee of Citizens Advice Kensington and Chelsea. He is actively involved in several residents' associations across Kensington. Marc came to public service via twenty years in science and industry.
Whilst working in healthcare, he led the development of the first AI diagnostic for prostate cancer to be cleared by the FDA. It is now used in clinics across the US, UK and Europe and has supported the diagnosis of thousands of patients. He also ran a portfolio of CE-marked AI products in prostate, breast and colorectal cancer. Marc continues to work on AI diagnostics for cancer treatments alongside his work in precision medicine and biomarker strategy.
His career began in research on Batten disease, a fatal childhood illness, and has since covered Alzheimer's, cancer, liver disease and neuroscience. He holds a PhD in Clinical Neuroscience from Imperial College London, has co-authored 25+ peer-reviewed publications and a patent, and worked with the Cabinet Office's Open Innovation Team alongside the Department of Health, the Department for Education and the Metropolitan Police.
Marc is a staunch supporter of small business. He backs and invests in British science and technology founders and has helped them raise millions in seed and Series A funding. He has watched too many good British inventions win approval and scale up abroad. Making Britain a place where ideas are built, adopted and paid for is the thread that runs through his politics.
Marc is married and lives in London. He was born to British and Canadian parents and speaks French, German and Italian. His grandparents survived Auschwitz. His family's history is why he takes freedom and democracy seriously, and why he believes it matters who ends up in public life. He is a keen reader of Roman history, and when work allows he heads to Cornwall to spend the weekend on the water.
A former model and TV presenter, he has volunteered with Dementia UK and Alzheimer's Research UK, and mentors young people through his company's STEM programme. He writes for ConservativeHome and CapX on enforcement and health policy, and is on the Conservative Party's Approved List of parliamentary candidates.
