Brendon Baker Email & Phone Number

We create simple in the face of complex so you can be effective.Early in his career journey, Brendon Baker realised that although he was unabashedly average at most things, he had an unusual talent in arriving at rapid conceptual clarity. He found that the vast majority of complexity was simply noise. Once you identified and put together the right pieces, the best path forward soon became self-evident.It’s on that talent and principle that Mecro was built. We’re in the game of shifting mindsets. Through our experience, simple (but not simplistic) models and evidence-based insights, we work with you to cut through the corporate noise to create a simple and contagious focus… The kind of focus that you can rally around. The kind of focus that makes a difference.
