Mark Steinhardt
Executive Director
Mark leads deal origination and execution across a wide range of sectors, with deep experience in Consumer Goods and Manufacturing markets. He works closely with business owners to identify opportunities, navigate complexity, and deliver outcomes that reflect both commercial and personal goals.
With over 17 years in M&A and corporate finance, Mark brings strategic insight and calm leadership to the table. He began his career at Hunter Green, researching listed companies for institutional investors and eventually becoming Head of Research. He then moved into an in-house M&A and investor relations role at Cleanaway, Australia’s largest waste management provider, gaining first-hand experience of what it means to think like an owner and manage transactions from the inside.
Clients value Mark for his expertise, honesty and empathy. He’s not afraid to tell clients when a deal isn’t in their best interest. And when the time is right, he’s committed to making it happen with focus, flexibility and care. His approach is grounded in real-world experience and a deep understanding of the emotional journey business owners go through.
When Mark’s not closing deals, he’s an ultramarathon runner, bringing the same endurance, discipline and strategic mindset to the trail as he does to every client engagement.
