Glenn Kirkwood


Glenn Kirkwood is first and foremost a leader that other leaders follow. With an entrepreneurial mindset and a sense of purpose for giving, Glenn’s approach to life is very refreshing. He had a highly successful career in Sales and Marketing, working in the import/export industries for 18 years, growing businesses to many times their original turnover and selling them on for significant profits. Then one morning, he was taken to a meeting of businesspeople where he came across a very different attitude from the cut and thrust of business as he had experienced it before: he heard the phrase Givers Gain. The philosophy that celebrates co-operation and mutual support over competition and rivalry resonated so deeply with him that, within weeks, Glenn had sold his last import business and acquired a franchise of Business Networking International, BNI. He is now one of the most successful BNI Franchisees in Australia, with his region growing from nothing to 480 members in just 5 short years
