About Kingsley Advisory
Kingsley Advisory was founded on a simple concept that any organisation that stops renewing itself quietly loses relevance. Markets move, customer expectations shift, and a business that doesn't evolve soon begins to atrophy. Strategy sets the direction for renewal. Innovation and transformation give it substance. Pruning back what no longer serves the business creates the room for new growth. We work alongside leaders through all of it, from setting the direction, to embedding the change, to making sure the benefits promised at the outset are delivered.
Mark Young
The Principal
Kingsley Advisory was founded by Mark Young, a senior executive and strategic adviser with more than 30 years' leadership experience, including executive and governance roles with Toyota New Zealand. There he held management portfolios spanning sales, business transformation, strategy, finance, information technology, marketing, people and culture, enterprise risk, governance and value chain operations.
Mark works particularly well with boards, chief executives and senior leadership teams facing complex organisational challenges, helping leaders make sense of complexity, establish clear priorities and turn strategic direction into change that can be delivered. His breadth across strategic, financial, operational and people leadership means he can see across an organisation and understand what will make a difference in practice.
His governance experience includes roles as an Executive Director, Non-Executive Director, Trustee, Company Secretary and Advisory Board Member. Mark holds an MBA with Distinction, a Master of Management (Hons) and a Bachelor of Business Studies, along with governance training through the Institute of Directors.
