Mark works with clients to design practical risk frameworks that help improve the performance and outcomes of material and complex change programs.
Mark Kuzma leads our Risk Advisory's Risk in Complex Change offering. He advises clients on identifying and mitigating risks throughout the entire lifecycle of material and complex change programs.

Prior to joining Ashurst Perkins Coie, Mark spent 25 years at a Big 4 firm where he advised senior leaders on assurance, finance, transformation and technology engagements. This experience has equipped Mark with an appreciation of the key risks experienced by material and complex change programs and in-turn how to support executive stakeholders in mitigating them.
