A change management specialist with a desire to do things differently has earned a Great British Entrepreneur Award just two years after launching his business.
Mark Green, CEO and Founder of Change Rebellion, was named Start-Up Entrepreneur of the Year in the South East region on Monday night (17th November), impressing judges with his people-centred approach to change projects.
With more than two decades of experience in the industry, a life-threatening battle with rare Covid-19 complications prompted Mark to assess his career – leading him to launch Change Rebellion in 2023. As well as an impressive growth in clients and revenue, the Surrey-based businessman has used his new-found platform to highlight the over-complexities and reliance on methodologies and jargon within the sector.
He has amassed more than 32,000 LinkedIn followers, been asked to guest lecture at universities and appear on numerous podcasts, joined expert panels, and written articles for national media.
Following his win, Mark said: “When I launched Change Rebellion, I felt strongly that someone needed to speak up about what was going wrong in the industry and how it could be fixed: by focusing on what really matters, namely the people affected by change within any business. It felt like time for a rebellion, hence the name of the business, and someone had to step up and lead it – so why not me!
“To be on the stage at arguably the most prominent business awards ceremony of the year, picking up an entrepreneur award, was not something I ever expected. It’s difficult to describe just how much this means to me – it’s proof that if you firmly believe in a mission, and have the motivation and knowledge to make it work, that you can do anything.
“Four years ago, I was battling my way back to physical and emotional health after doctors predicted I wouldn’t survive my illness. Two years ago, I was launching Change Rebellion. And now I’m officially a Great British Entrepreneur Award winner. Who knows where the journey will take Change Rebellion and myself in the next two years!”
