John Leader

John is a Mackay local whose first introduction to management and business was in several Mackay hotels.  He then spent over 12 years working in the family business, John Carroll Retravision before leaving to pursue an interest in finance. John joined the Power2 Team in 2008.  His first role was to establish and grow Power2’s Financial Planning arm and on achieving that goal has moved on to be responsible for the overall management and forward planning within the firm. John has successfully acquired and integrated 6 businesses between Mackay and Brisbane on Power2’s behalf.
