Mark Hawes
Credit Analyst
Master of Business Administration (Corporate Finance)
Mark understands performance — both under the bonnet and on paper. A former drifting and motorsport enthusiast, he’s always been drawn to precision, timing and calculated risk — qualities that now serve him well in credit.
Academically, Mark doesn’t do things lightly. He holds degrees in both Nanotechnology and Mechanical Engineering, but not content to stop there he also achieved an MBA specialising in Corporate Finance (smarty pants) — a combination that brings serious analytical depth to the team.
After years in engineering management solving complex technical problems, Mark made a deliberate move into finance to pursue his long-standing interest in corporate strategy and deal mechanics.
“I’ve always liked understanding how systems work. Once you know what drives the outcome, you can make better decisions.”
Outside of work, Mark makes a point of travelling somewhere new each year (most recently Rarotonga). Calm, thoughtful and highly methodical, he’s exactly who you want reviewing the details.
