Mark MacDonald

Global Public Finance Management Leader

EY

Mark is an advocate for the pursuit of a new vision of government fiscal policy, focused on a framework of public value that extends traditional components of public financial management.  Through his day job as EY’s Global Leader, Public Money, he works with public and private sector leaders who similarly advocate that the future of public money must be different than its past.  This exists at the convergence of fiscal requirement, technology advancement, market capability, and a sense that political economy is seeking new permission for lasting change.

Mark is a member of OMFIF’s Advisory Council and has worked on a series of research and advocacy pieces over the past several years, including work focused on application of innovative technology to public budgeting, continued pursuit of sustainable finance and the role of sovereign wealth and public equity, and our current focus on the Future of Public Money.  Mark is the global sponsor and leader of EY’s blockchain-enabled solutions developed to enhance delivery of public value, with particularly powerful application in the development sphere working with global entities including the United Nations, the IMF, and the World Bank.  He holds a Ph.D. in Public Policy, has 25 years professional experience advising public sector leaders, and maintains a positive belief that the pursuit of public value through markets and public institutions is a noble one.”
