Marc La Pira grew up in Melbourne, Australia and graduated from humble courses at Melbourne University and RMIT in the fields of Science and Nursing.

He spent a number of years working agency shifts through the busiest Intensive Care Units of Melbourne whilst simultaneously absorbing valuable life tools, which he recognises as the fundamentals of fallibility and how he responds today.At the ripe old age of twenty-four he knew he found his calling card when he was hired in a sales position with Australia’s largest privately owned medical sales company.

His passion for finding a solution to a problem seemed a natural fit. Applying true entrepreneurial spirit, he teamed up with his original mentor, Brendan Edwards, and now leads the sales division of Allied Group.Support from family and friends invariably allow Marc time to nurture his passions in fitness, research, innovation and recognising the importance of relationships… with the key ingredient being humour!
