Greg Marsh

Marsh was born in London.[1] He read English and philosophy at Christ's College, Cambridge. He later attended Harvard Business School on a Fulbright Scholarship, and was twice named Ford Scholar.[2][3][4] Marsh is the grandson of Amnesty International founder Peter Benenson, who was the only child of campaigner Flora Solomon.[5]

In 2009, Marsh came up with the idea for hospitality business onefinestay. It launched in 2010 and was acquired six years later by AccorHotels for at least $170 million (£117 million).[6] After Marsh left the company in September 2016, he was appointed as a panel member of the 2017 Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices, commissioned by then British Prime Minister Theresa May.[7][8] That year, he joined the faculty at Harvard Business School, teaching entrepreneurship, and was also elected to the International Board of Amnesty International. Marsh is also a visiting professor at Imperial College Business School.[9][10]

In 2021, Marsh co-founded Nous, which aggregates cost of living data for consumers in areas such as energy, insurance and broadband. In February 2022, the platform announced it had raised £6.6m ($9m) in seed funding.[11][12][13]

Marsh has contributed to British newspapers and broadcast media, on topics including entrepreneurialism, consumer budgeting, the cost of living crisis and mental health.[14][15][16][17]

In 2011 Marsh polled 11th in a list of London's most eligible start-up CEOs.[18]
