Mark Strom studied theology, philosophy and history in Australia and the USA culminating in a PhD in the history of ideas.

His research constituted a major study of the roots of modern leadership complexities in the traditions that shaped western thought and society. Mark has consulted to corporations and government bodies on leadership, learning, engagement, and innovation.

From 2005-10, Mark was CEO of Laidlaw College. Mark is currently working on a new book building on his former, highly inspiring work, “Arts of the Wise Leader”.
