Andrew Collins

General Manager Sales and Marketing: Prior to joining Orenda, Mark worked for the National Australia Bank for 20 years. Mark was involved in a wide variety of roles covering all facets of business including, lending, customer service, senior leadership, training, sales, marketing and project management. He specialised in restructuring and change management initiatives from both an implementation aspect and a strategic senior management overview perspective. He has vast experience in people issues through senior roles within the HR function.

Mark was responsible for the coordinated integration of business units, encompassing all issues relating to people, processes and policies. During this time, Mark was responsible for the strategic direction of the HR function and subsequent project execution for integration initiatives. He was at the forefront of changing the relationship between HR and their business partners whereby a joint accountability for business performance was adopted. A number of major initiatives were undertaken with Mark providing senior project management experience for the successful deployment and achievement of stated objectives.

General Manager Commercial and Business Finance : Andrew has over 20 years experience in the finance industry, having worked in both Victoria and Queensland. Predominantly working as a Relationship Manager within the Business Banking sector, he was responsible for the management of the largest customer portfolio within the state. Consistent performance in recent times exceeded growth targets annually by up to 150%. With Andrew's involvement many clients took the step of growing from SME's to larger businesses, focussing on both the growth of the business and the rate of return to their bottom line profitability.

Andrew also provided input and guidance into the implementation of a state wide project involving cost recovery and profit measurement, which was the pilot program to the CRM tool that is in operation today.
Since moving on from the finance industry, Andrew has been engaged by several former clients to objectively review and analyse their businesses with a view to addressing production and productivity issues. His ability to determine the key areas most likely to produce improved financial performance for each business he works in is one of his greatest strengths.
