About Us
Three Decades of Global Insight. From Impact to Independence.
With over three decades of international experience, Mark Lawrence Johnson helps organizations achieve results in strategy, marketing, and sales, while guiding teams to build lasting capabilities.
He has worked across both commercial and government markets with a proven track record of establishing and growing new markets—from traditional commercial products to highly specialized CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) solutions. As one of the early industrial pioneers in the European CBRN market, Mark was already contributing to European Commission policy discussions in 2007, helping shape the framework that enabled industry market access.
Mark’s career includes leadership roles at global companies in pharmaceuticals (Merck & Co/MSD, Eli Lilly, Astellas), biotechnology (Emergent BioSolutions, Securetec), and the market access consultancy Cencora. Combined with his diverse consultancy projects across industries, this experience gives him the ability to connect strategic planning with practical execution—ensuring organizations succeed today while building independence for tomorrow.
His academic background is equally international: a BA in Business Management from the University of Maryland, an MBA from Wake Forest University, and a Doctorate in global health economics from Université Panthéon-Assas in Paris, focused on the International Availability of Medical Countermeasures against CBRN agents.
Beyond consulting, Mark shares his expertise as a lecturer in master’s programs at universities of applied sciences in Munich (FOM University of Applied Sciences for Economics and Management; HDBW University of Applied Sciences of the Bavarian Economy). He is known for bringing real-world insights directly into the classroom.
Based in Munich, he works in both English and German with clients across Europe, the USA, and Asia. Outside of his professional life, he can often be found playing trumpet at jazz concerts—a pursuit that reflects the creativity, discipline, and collaboration he values in business.
This unique blend of international industry expertise, academic rigor, and people-focused facilitation allows Mark not only to deliver measurable impact in strategy, marketing, and sales but also to empower organizations with the confidence and capability to thrive long term.
