Founder and Director Marlton Capital Partners
Drew Lette BCom MBA LinkedIn Profile
In 2021, while pursuing a Senior Executive MBA at Melbourne Business School, University of Melbourne, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. Reflecting on a career spanning 25 years in executive roles within multinational corporations including names like L'Oréal Groupe, Stanley Black & Decker, Svenska Cellulosa AB, PepsiCo, and Nielsen. I wanted to use my skill set beyond that corporate environment. I wanted to work towards creating wealth locally, rather than for shareholders overseas. I wanted to be connected to my community in my work. This was the catalyst for Marlton Capital Partners.
In 2022, with the world emerging from the depths of the COVID pandemic, my family returned to Brisbane after an absence of 24 years, rekindling my deep-rooted connections with friends, family and the local community of my youth. In 2023 I founded Marlton Capital Partners.
At the heart of Marlton Capital Partners lies an ambition to foster vibrant, economically diverse, and financially sustainable communities through small business and entrepreneurship. Our mission is to serve as a catalyst for small business value creation and innovation in Southeast Queensland. We are driven by the desire to empower local entrepreneurs and create local employment by offering access to capital and guidance to our partners.
Marlton Capital Partners aims to be an integral part of Southeast Queensland's journey towards further prosperity and growth. Creating Value. Guiding Growth.
