Mark Lockitt MBCS – Technical Expertise and Innovation
Greetings, I am Mark Lockitt and I thrive on staying at the forefront of emerging technologies and industry trends, and I eagerly embrace opportunities to expand my skills. This commitment to growth has not only kept me at the cutting edge of IT but has also made me a valuable asset to any team.
Collaboration is at the heart of my work philosophy. I firmly believe that the most successful solutions are born from diverse perspectives and ideas. As a team leader, I have consistently fostered an environment that encourages open communication, cooperation, and the nurturing of individual talents.
Mentoring is another aspect of my professional life that I find immensely rewarding. Guiding and empowering others to reach their full potential is a privilege I hold dear. I take pride in watching my team members flourish and achieve their career goals.
In a dynamic and ever-evolving industry like IT, my enthusiasm, drive, and dedication to continuous learning, collaboration, and mentoring have been my compass. As I look ahead, I am excited to continue this journey, armed with the belief that the pursuit of knowledge and the support of a strong team can achieve remarkable results.
My Interests and Hobbies
In my free time, I wrangle a wild bunch: my partner, two pint-sized tornadoes, and a barking furball. My DIY adventures transform our old house into a quirky wonderland. I’m a tech-trekker, chasing modern wizardry and perfecting my skills. Golf, hiking, snowboarding, squash, and 3D printing are my playfields. When COVID hit, my daughter and I became PPE champions, crafting 4,000+ face shields for our healthcare heroes. Everyday life is my playground, and I’m the ringmaster of my own delightful circus!
