Mark St Andrew

Head of ThinkIns

“The best thing about Tortoise is that it focuses on stories and people, rather than spin and noise. Slower, wiser news that is well researched and thoughtfully told broadens the mind, and nourishes the soul.” A lively imagination and a bright and breezy copy style led Mark into a brief journalism career writing about nightlife, alcohol and advertising. After working in PR and communications for some of the world’s biggest media brands, he moved into event curation, working on national and international events around the world. Mark loves talking to people and hearing about their lives, work and passions, which is a perfect fit for his role as Head of Programming at Tortoise. It’s his job to help find the right speakers for our ThinkIns, and he’s always eager to hear ideas from our members about the guests they’d like to see.
