I spent much of my life in Sydney, Australia, although I also lived and worked in other countries, including the United Kingdom.

I am also a proud father of five healthy adult children, who I love dearly. Being their father has been a major privilege in my life.

I have had a successful business career spanning over 35 years, and of course, I now work for myself, doing this important transformation consulting and coaching.

I am a qualified chartered accountant and was a partner of KPMG for over 5 years, having spent 19 years with the firm. This initial career provided me with a sound grounding in finance and corporate governance, concepts across a diversity of industries, but primarily in the financial services industry including:

  • Banking
  • Insurance (including reinsurance)
  • Funds management
  • Investments
  • Stockbroking

It also gave me my first taste of leadership, which I loved.

I then moved from consulting into commercial fields taking on Chief Financial Officer, Chief Risk Officer and Group Internal Audit positions in some of Australia’s top insurance and banking organisations. I have had the privilege of working with some high-powered Boards and senior leadership teams.

I became renowned for taking over teams of people who were underperforming by applying my unique leadership style. On every occasion, I transformed them into top-line teams through high-quality leadership and the application of consistently strong business acumen.

In all cases I was able to create dynamic cultures which brought out the best in the people in the teams with authentic leadership based on some key values like truth, trust and equality.

In 2019, I left mainstream business activities to focus on refining my understanding of natural transformation practices and applying them to myself. I knew that to transform my life and career and then help others, I needed to transform myself first. I could not be authentic without doing this.

My research has been embodied so far in his two published books, one on personal transformation, and the other on collective transformation practices. And at the core of it all sits my unique understanding of the power of belief structures and enhanced self-awareness in allowing significant changes to take place in any circumstance.

I know I am fortunate to have been severely tested by life for many years. Significant learning opportunities have presented themselves to me throughout my life and I have turned the pain from these events into my greatest strengths. Now I want to share my highly evolved learnings with you.

I want to inspire others to see what a great adventure life can be, even when it gets hard. Pain can be a great teacher if we learn from it. I know I have.

Both my published books so far give a more in-depth depiction of my life experiences and the truths I now seek to share.

I hope you are curious about the advanced learnings I have come to represent because I now want to share them with those who are looking for new possibilities.

“I have known Mark for 8 years. We met at work, where he was my people leader and mentor, which subsequently led to friendship. At this time, I have known Mark to be a unique individual who lives from the heart.

Mark is truly a unique person, as I have never known anyone quite like him. He is highly ethical and always willing to help people in need without exercising judgment or seeking anything in return.

On a personal level he assisted me in navigate through a very difficult time by showing unconditional love, always keeping to his word and never giving up on me. I could never have made it this far without him. He is a true inspiration in my life and a true Godsend as he lives by his word and is never willing to compromise on his values.

He related very well to the challenges I was experiencing by communicating truthfully about his own difficulties and how he actively approached and overcame them by projecting a true sense of positive energy. This made me feel safe as he gained my trust.

I continue to be inspired by his passion to pursue the truth.

It is my honor to attest that it would be a privilege to work with Mark.”

“I have known Mark for the last 23 years, having worked for him and with him and have also known him socially.

You don’t work for Mark but with him in an environment of shared goals. He wants his people to be successful and his people want him to be successful. Mark’s management style is the secret to successful relationships in the workplace. He involves his people and works with them as a team.

If there is a problem, Mark likes to shoot straight. If there is a problem, Mark communicates with clarity and compassion because he always ‘plays the ball not the man’.

He collaborates and communicates well. Nothing is off limits. When the time comes to relax and reflect on achievements, he is leading the pack to provide what his people need when they switch off. Open and honest communication and balance is his mantra.

I have seen these characteristics in him a few times, having worked with him on subsequent assignments. His style doesn’t change. It matures, and the wisdom from experience is always evident in Mark’s future dealings. As a manager, colleague and friend, I have no hesitation in recording that I will work with him at any time.”
Ian Shaw
“I worked with Mark as part of his leadership team for 4 years in one of Australia’s leading insurance businesses, and witnessed first-hand his capability to transform teams of people through business acumen, authenticity and integrity.

Working with and for him, and his guidance in subsequent years, was a great and positive experience and helped me further my career.

I had no hesitation in bringing him into Gen Re in 2023 to assist with a cultural assessment of the Finance team, and to run an offsite for us. This process proved to be very insightful and has assisted us to transform the way we work together as a team.

Mark’s passion and care for people and openness created an environment of trust and honesty throughout the team. I strongly recommended him to anyone seeking high quality leadership coaching and business consulting services. He has the credibility of someone who has walked the talk.”
James Breyley
