Adelaide Connected is a podcast series aimed at giving insight into people who have lived abroad and why they have chosen Adelaide as home to live and work. Hosts Naomi Marsh and Ali Chatburn speak with professionals from various industries who are now based in Adelaide, South Australia. We hear about why they chose to move to Adelaide, how they navigated the migration experience and forming new networks, and what they love about their new home town. Also see the 'Benchmarking Adelaide' podcast to hear from passionate South Australian leaders on how Adelaide compares on a global scale.
Episode 12 of our Adelaide Connected podcast, powered by the Committee for Adelaide features Mark Johnson, Founder of EGM Partners.
Originally from the UK, Mark moved to Australia in 2010 and soon settled in Adelaide, South Australia. In 2016, Mark founded EGM Partners, specialising in board positions, executive and C-Suite recruitment, with a particular focus in privately owned companies and the energy and resources sector.
Mark has been listed as an Australian Financial Review “Fast Starter and Fast Mover”, in InDaily’s 40 Under 40 list, twice as a BDO Fast Mover and most importantly, is a very proud dad of girls.
We look forward to chatting to Mark about his journey to Adelaide, what he loves about living in South Australia and his future plans.
