ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Marcus Bokkerink, MBA’92 was Chair of the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) Board from 2022 to 2025. During his tenure, he re-oriented the authority’s priorities to helping consumers get better choices and a fair deal in their most important markets; making it easier for businesses to compete, innovate and grow by tackling anti-competitive practices and monopolies; and encouraging the government to replace public and private regulation with more open, competitive markets to unlock economic growth. He also initiated a broad program of reforms to make the CMA’s approach in mergers, digital markets and consumer enforcement faster and more pragmatic, and led the authority as it took on significant new powers under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act. Previously, he was a Senior Partner and Managing Director at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where he headed the firm’s UK and European Strategy Practice and Consumer Practice, led a range of global client teams, and established and developed the firm’s China business.

Marcus has over 30 years of experience helping businesses drive advantage, returns and growth. He is currently a Board director at an international law firm, investor, governor at the Manchester Grammar School, and chair of the Pembroke College Cambridge Development Board.
