Simon Mortlock
Growing up, I wanted to become a lawyer. But while working towards my law degree, I realised that writing was my true calling. With an LLB and BA under my belt, I joined a journalism program in my hometown of Auckland.
I spent several years in Singapore as APAC editor of eFinancialCareers, travelling regularly to Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Sydney to interview fascinating people in the financial services and recruitment industries.
While covering Asian markets, I wrote an article featuring senior banker Eric Sim. This sparked a partnership that eventually led to writing a career book with Eric. Absorbing his advice made me reflect on my own path — it was time for my own career reinvention, from business journalism to content marketing and copywriting.
This transition brought me to where I am today: leading the amazing content team at K2 Partnering Solutions.
