Brendan Beeken
Entrepreneur, Commercial Strategist and Philanthropist
I build and scale businesses across real estate, hospitality and emerging markets, working at the intersection of strategy, leadership and execution.
On my journey, I have experienced triumph and failure and learned a great deal from both. Every victory and every setback is an opportunity, a chance to take another step towards becoming a better version of yourself.
From my experience, I have developed a set of core values and a vision that I now live by, in business and in my personal life. I have also seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to setting up, growing, problem-solving, motivating staff and delivering results in the corporate world.
Now I’d like to share this experience and these lessons with you, to help you achieve success.
My “Why”
As an entrepreneur, I enjoy nothing more than turning ideas into reality. For much of my career, this has involved my own innovation, delivering fresh products, brands and businesses from concept to success.
Now, I support others to achieve their dreams, with mentoring and advice. It doesn’t matter what stage of your career or business development you are at; I want to work with the most innovative, creative people around and guide them towards a brighter future.
I’m fortunate to have had a very varied career, which has given me real-world experience of how to succeed in a fast-paced world. I look forward to sharing my skills and experience with all those who share my spirit, values, enthusiasm and drive for success.
The Journey
Life-threatening heart failure was a catalyst to understanding what I do and why I do it. It crystallised my experiences, good and bad, into a culture, ethos and vision for me personally, and for the way I do business as an entrepreneur.
During my varied working life, I have done everything from banking and investment consulting to owning and operating bars and restaurants. I have explored my passion for motorsport with a longstanding driver management and sponsorship acquisition company. I have founded new businesses and supported fellow entrepreneurs get their ideas off the ground.
Since my illness, I have distilled my experiences into a strategy for success and reaped the benefits with the realisation of prosperous business in industries as diverse as cryptocurrency, marketing and real estate.
