Mark Lincoln is the Founder of SCP (Supply Chain Partners) and a senior transformation leader with over three decades of international experience as a COO, Transformation Director and Supply Chain and Logistics executive. He specialises in turning operational complexity into executable strategy, enabling growth, integration and performance improvement across PE-backed, listed and global organisations.

Mark’s career spans supply chain, logistics, ERP and digital transformation and international trade, underpinned by a track record of delivering large-scale operational, commercial and organisational change. He has led budgets, integrations and transformations in excess of £200m, building robust governance frameworks and steering organisations through major ERP programmes including SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, D365 and Sage.

Mark’s foundations were built over more than two decades in global logistics, supply chain operations and manufacturing. He spent 17 years with Maersk, the global shipping and transportation group, where he progressed from early leadership in intermodal operations and cost control to a five‑year expatriate posting at its Copenhagen global headquarters. During this period, he spent three years in global systems development, designing transport routing guides and offer structures, followed by two years conducting global transport procurement audits and establishing governance guidelines. He then spent six further years with Sealed Air, the global plastics and food packaging manufacturer, holding senior logistics and transportation leadership roles across Europe and South Africa. There, he led multi‑site operations, drove cross‑division transportation strategy, consolidated supplier bases, delivered significant cost savings, and played a key role in major ERP implementation.

Building on this foundation, his executive roles have spanned major listed, PE-backed and global organisations including Segen, Alliance Healthcare, Costa Coffee, Kingfisher and Cambridge University Press. At Costa Coffee, he served as Interim Global Supply Chain Director and the most senior supply chain leader, where he led operations through Covid and Brexit while supporting the Coca Cola integration and enabling trade compliant international growth. As Transformation Director at Alliance Healthcare UK, he led a £100m+ ERP programme through its integration into AmerisourceBergen. As Global Supply Chain Director at Cambridge University Press, he restructured international operations and delivered multi-million-pound cost savings. More recently, as Interim Transformation Director for PE-backed businesses including Segen, Fothergill’s Seeds and Algeco UK, he has built and executed major outsourcing contracts, ERP mergers and operating model redesigns, consistently delivering on time and to budget.

Mark brings end-to-end leadership from strategy through to execution, combining board-level governance with hands-on operational depth. He is known for stabilising underperforming environments, shaping transformation roadmaps and leading multi-site delivery at pace. He also brings significant non-executive experience gained through six years as a Non-Executive Director at the Chartered Institute of Export and International Trade, where he was a key driver of board change and the principal supporting director to the Chairman. He chaired committees for four years and helped boards navigate complex change, integration and growth by combining strategic insight with governance leadership at the intersection of commerce and trade policy. His board contributions include shaping long term strategy, supporting organisational restructuring and providing oversight across M&A integration and Ethics.
