Marcus Ward
Founder and Managing Director, Twenty2 Collective
ABOUT
Marcus spent years in corporate consulting before founding Twenty2 Collective. The idea came from relocating his own family, and seeing first hand what it feels like when a change actually pays off. He took that into his first client delivery, a programme for a WA mining company, where the team realised the value of what they went through and the organisation beat its targets. That is still the test Marcus holds every engagement to: whether the people and the organisation got the value, not just the delivery.
