Mark Stewart Email and Phone Number

With over 20 years of experience in the environmental education sector, I am a passionate leader who believes in the power of challenging and inspirational environments to foster personal growth, resilience, and social cohesion among young people. I have a Master of Environmental Studies from Lakehead University, and I have developed and overseen strategic, organisational, and operational business plans that are consistent with the mission and vision of Land's Edge Foundation, a not-for-profit that provides outdoor education programs to schools and communities across Australia.As the Chief Executive Officer of Land's Edge Foundation from October 2019 to January 2023, I led and motivated a high-performing managerial team to deliver excellent outcomes for our clients, partners, and stakeholders. I was responsible for ensuring financial sustainability, operational efficiency, quality assurance, and risk management for the organisation, as well as fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and diversity. I also established and maintained strong relationships with key external stakeholders, including government agencies, funding bodies, industry associations, and media outlets. I am proud of the impact that we have made on thousands of young people and their families, and the positive feedback that we have received from our clients and partners.
