About Founder - Wilna Fourie

Strategic Business Professional | Founder of StratMark NZ Limited - BCOM(Bus.Econ.); Hons (Mgmt.); Master of Business Studies (Marketing)

After 28+ years spanning all facets of business and helping businesses grow and succeed, I've learned that good planning doesn't have to be complicated—it just needs to be practical and actionable.

My background spans entrepreneurship, corporate leadership, consulting and education across government, private, and academic sectors. I've also worked as a business broker facilitating sales of small to medium businesses with sale prices between $100k to $2.8M, which taught me exactly what makes businesses valuable and sustainable and how to plan for exit.

As a former Senior Lecturer at institutions including Manukau Institute of Technology and Massey University in New Zealand, and training in Australia at GOTAFE in Victoria and Central Regional TAFE in Regional Western Australia, I've trained many aspiring business leaders.

I've been in your shoes or can totally appreciate the shoes you are walking in. I understand the challenges of running a business because I've built, bought, sold, and scaled them myself.

My approach is practical, sensible and based on proven theory—focused on what actually works in the real world.

What sets me apart:

  • Educational Excellence: Master of Business Studies (Marketing) with proven teaching and course development expertise.

  • Proven Results: Award-winning performance including CEO Innovation Award, AU (2023) and Best Business Broker, AU (2017), Outstanding Teaching , NZ (1998), Speaker New Business Migrants , AU (2016); Speaker NECA National Electrical Communications Association Australia, Vietnam (2014).

  • Diverse Sector Experience: Successfully worked and consulted across government, education, private enterprise, and non-profit organizations.

  • Evidence-Based Approach: Strong background in qualitative market research and data-driven decision making.

  • Authentic Leadership: Transformational leadership style focused on human creativity and sustainable solutions.

I founded StratMark NZ to combine my passion for strategic thinking with my belief that successful businesses are built on skill building, a strong culture, authentic and empowered leadership, and the contribution of human creativity. My approach is both analytical and creative, always focusing on the unique story and potential of each organization I work with.

When I'm not training and skill building with clients, you'll find me mentoring business owners through NZ Business Mentors, or contributing to community initiatives that support business excellence and innovation.
