Ex-Leading Edge chief joins former colleagues at Fiftyfive5

AUSTRALIA— Mark Sundquist has joined his former Leading Edge colleagues Karen Phillips and Darren Kemp as a partner at their recently launched research consultancy Fiftyfive5.

Sundquist (pictured) stood down as CEO of The Leading Edge last September after three years in the role to take a sabbatical.

In total he spent 14 years with the company, during which time he also served as managing director of the The Leading Edge’s Sydney office.

Fiftyfive5 co-founder Phillips said: “Having worked with Mark for 10 years it is great to be working together again. It really rounds out the team and further extends our offer to our rapidly growing client base.”
