Mark Julien was educated at Winchester College and Wadham College, Oxford. After graduating in 1997, he completed an ACA accountancy graduate conversion course before joining Accenture in London as a Management Consultant.
In 2000, he founded Oxford Professional Training Limited, a corporate training business based in Beijing, China. Using exclusive licenses negotiated with Linguarama, Europe's largest Business Language Training Organisation, and a joint-venture agreement with the China International Intellectech Corporation (CIIC), one of the most influential State-owned human resource companies in China, funded solely by the State Council, Oxford Professional Training now has around 30 employees and has raised more than $1.5m in finance. Between 2002 and 2003, Mark brought in new management to run the company and, in November 2003, he finally left the company's executive team. The company has now expanded from Beijing to Shanghai and offers financial qualification training such as for ACCA and CIMA as well as Business English Training.
In 2004, Mark joined Standard Chartered Bank as Senior Relationship Manager in the Origination and Client Coverage Division. Besides managing bank relationships for some of the largest overseas investors in China, Mark has also been actively involved in the community such as his work as "China Ambassador" for Standard Chartered's "Seeing is Believing" Campaign against preventable blindness (http://www.seeingisbelieving.org.uk/) and his work with HIV/AIDS awareness and in April 2007, Mark travelled to Mombasa in Kenya to work with the New Hope Orphanage, which provides support and education to children that have lost their parents as a result of AIDS.
In May 2008, Mark took study leave from Standard Chartered and is now a dual degree candidate at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing an MBA at The Wharton School and an MA in International Studies at The Lauder Institute.
