Mark has been with Be Challenged since the very beginning and has played a crucial role in growing the business into what it is today. Mark’s background was originally in finance where his attention to detail, analytical thinking and creative problem-solving skills were developed. At the same time Mark was also playing first grade rugby with Gordon Rugby Club. Mark’s time in rugby, both as a player and a coach, showed him the immense benefits of being a proactive team player as well as what was required to achieve a consistent and effective team performance. This unique skill set has since expanded to include over 7 years’ experience in event facilitation and team building program development, with Mark personally facilitating over 500 programs and event directing 700 programs
Mark’s role as National Product Specialist is to challenge the status quo and push the boundaries on what is possible with our programs and events. Ensuring that all Be Challenged programs are not only designed and run seamlessly but meet the client’s brief no matter how creative or specific that might be. Mark’s passion, apart from Seinfeld, is to always find a way to exceed the client’s expectations and make the program relevant to them. In particular Mark is the recognised Go Team guru in Australia and by our global partners, taking this program to a level we never imagined and providing clients with unique tailored content for their teams
Mark is cool, calm and collected with a love for anything active in or around the ocean- snorkeling, paddling in his surf ski, sailing- you name it. On top of this Mark is also an avid sportsman and regularly (by regularly I mean all in one day!) plays tennis, touch football, basketball and runs. His favourite team is the New England Patriots
