Mark Tucker (born 29 December 1957 in England), is an English businessman, best known for his various roles at Prudential plc, where he is currently Chief Executive Officer.

Tucker started adult life as a trainee professional footballer, making appearances for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Rochdale and Barnet, although he never played a first team match.[1] However, after reading Business Management at the University of Leeds, he qualified as an accountant at PricewaterhouseCoopers.[1]

He joined Prudential in 1986, initially working for Prudential Portfolio Managers.[1] He progressed through various roles in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and the United States, where he was Senior Vice President of Jackson National Life from 1992 to 1993.[1] He was appointed Chief Executive of Prudential Corporation Asia and an executive director of Prudential plc, but left the group in May 2004 after growing frustrated at the lack of upward opportunity at Prudential to join HBOS as Finance Director.[1]

Following Jonathan Bloomer's ousting as CEO of Prudential in early 2005, due to bungled attempts to merge with American General and sell off Egg, Tucker rejoined Prudential in March 2005 as CEO.[1]
