Presenters:

Mark Eggers: Co-Founder - Yarno

Mark is an entrepreneur who’s on a mission to improve workplace learning.

Mark has spent the last 16 years working in digital, and also co-owned a bar/restaurant in Darlinghurst. It was here running the pass on a busy Friday night, that he discovered the challenges associated with training a casual workforce. After running a tasting session just a few days before, he overheard a team member telling a guest ‘they didn’t know which wine was the best pairing for that dish’. With his background in web, the idea for Yarno was then concocted on a chairlift with his cofounder Lachy.  Mark has since made it his mission to ensure training is embedded and refreshed so that team members have the right information at the right time. The next challenge was designing a platform where the content was memorable, bite-sized and gamified!

Mark also loves to fish, plays hockey twice a week, and enjoys skiing with his family.
