Mark F.R. Wilkins

A non-practicing English Solicitor, Mark has been involved in the worlds of entertainment, media and tech for several decades.

Following the first dot com boom in the mid-1990’s, with others, Mark co-founded an industry specific early-stage funding entity – Music Business Angels – that saw the entrepreneurs behind some now household names at their earliest stages of development. These businesses included Shazam, Kobalt and Frukt, have now been largely sold on for impressive multiples by their founders.

Moving to the Malaga region in 2002, Mark became involved in the residential property market. Here he met, and assisted, many entrepreneurs who had either realised the value of their businesses and had seen the evolving commercial opportunities of working on and from the Costa del Sol.

More recently he has worked with global entrepreneurs who have embraced Malaga’s offer of a runway to success while affording an enviable lifestyle.

Mark is dedicated to realizing the prospect of intelligent, insightful and innovative ideas wrapped in an achievable, scalable and compelling commercial model.

When not working Mark can be found on one of the beaches of the Costa de la Luz or exploring the coast with his wife, often with one of their three adult children and always with their three dogs.

Mark is the Chairman of Biznaga Partners.
