Leon Lau

Chair of the Board

Leon Lau started his working career at CSIRO before moving into leadership roles in multinational companies. His experience in marketing roles set him up well for entrepreneurship. Leon’s career path changed when joining the newly emerging IT&T Contracting and Recruitment sector and subsequently becoming Managing Director of Paxus People. In 1990, Leon founded Peoplebank Australia and over the next 25 years grew Peoplebank to be Australia’s largest IT&T recruitment company with offices throughout Australia and SE Asia. Peoplebank was sold to Recruit Holdings of Japan in 2015.

Leon brings his extensive experience in M&A, Private Equity and developing companies to Future Leadership and looks forward to working with the executive team on this exciting phase of the company’s evolution.
