Mark Gallagher

With almost 30 years’ experience in Formula One, Mark Gallagher is one of the most knowledgeable and accomplished motorsport speakers. Best known for his role on the senior management team of Jordan Grand Prix, once described by Murray Walker as ‘the most motivated team in Formula One’, Mark made things happen in the team, with decisive leadership and promotion of teamwork. Running Jordan Grand Prix’s marketing for a total of nine years, Mark went on to form part of the management team for Jenson Button before accepting the offer to run both the sponsorship and commercial negotiations for the Jaguar Formula One team.

Mark once again demonstrated his business nous between 2009 and 2011 when he worked with Cosworth to reintroduce them as an engine supplier for Formula One. Supplying power units to Lotus, Marussia, and Williams, Gallagher played a significant role in securing Cosworth as a key player in the sport, as well as rejuvenating a legendary motorsport brand. With over two decades of experience of controlling media for Formula One teams and drivers, Mark has had the privilege of working with some of the legends of the sport, including Nigel Mansell and Michael Schumacher.

Thanks to Mark’s unrivalled involvement in motorsports, he regularly appears for broadcasters, including Sky Sports, BBC News, and Channel 4 News, providing his expert analysis of both on and off track behaviour. A fantastic motivational speaker, Mark understands what is needed to succeed in such a high paced environment as F1, making his advice invaluable for both business and social environments.

Mark has had a wealth of experience on the stage, attended conferences for multi-national companies to share his insights into data analytics, risk management, and innovation. As both a motivational speaker and motorsports speaker, Mark can tailor his content to make his advice applicable to a client’s brief. An engaging and compelling character, Mark strives to interact with guests during his talks to give a true insight into life in the fast lane. Although Mark is a motorsports expert his lessons can be learned by the corporate world equally as well, which has led Mark to be one of the most popular motorsport speakers on the after dinner speaker circuit.
