Date published 18 Oct 2019 Metrix Consulting founder, Marquis Pohla, has been appointed President of the Perth Chapter of the global peer-to-peer support network Entrepreneurs’ Organisation (EO). Run by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, it is the only organisation of its kind supporting the needs of the 360° entrepreneur through business, family, community and personal experiences. Marquis not only credits EO with helping him build Metrix Consulting into Australia’s leading insights and strategy company in less than decade but making him a better partner and father. “While there are plenty of membership groups on offer for business leaders, there’s no other body which solely exists to help entrepreneurs tackle the commercial and personal challenges they face on what can be an isolating journey to the top,” he said. “I am excited to share the power of EO with other business owners and drive the expansion of our local membership over the next few years.” Marquis said rather than being advice-based, EO is built on a concept of ‘been there before’ shared experiences. “We meet in forums and our focus is on business, family and self,” he said. “Egos are left at the door, confidentiality is paramount, and the discussions centre around the hurdles, experiences and stresses you don’t feel you can discuss with your family or friends.” “You also have the opportunity to connect with more than 14,000 members around the world and to attend local, regional and global events with some amazing speakers and unique experiences rarely available to the public.” said Marquis. According to Marquis EO Perth is particularly interested in getting more female entrepreneurs and business young guns to join its ranks. “It’s really about getting lived experience support and learning from some of our brightest, most successful entrepreneurs so you can take your own business and life to the next level.” To find out more about EO Perth visit www.eoperth.com.au Back To News & Views
