MARK PUGSLEY
Head of Corporate Services
- mark.pugsley@pchf.org.au
- (08) 6456 5543
In a nutshell after spending almost my entire career in the hustle and bustle of the finance sector I wanted to move to a not for profit where hopefully some of my skills would be of use. Knowing I might be contributing to improving the lives of others while at the same time improving my own life (by removing some of the stress and urgency in my day to day work) seemed to be a win win for me. I guess what I am saying I wanted to ease up but not stop and my priorities were more about getting a better life balance!

Promoting health of children is the most effective way of improving the health of all the community. Healthier children become healthier adults. The flow-on effects are obvious. If I can help the Foundation do that, I’m happy.

Fun on Four is a vitally important area of the Perth Children’s Hospital.
