Merryn Stewart
Head of Marketing and CommunicationsAbout Merryn
Merryn has worked for many years across brand, marketing and communications. She spent 18 years based in London working for various legal and accounting firms, before returning to Australia in 2008 to continue her career in professional services.
Merryn heads up Marketing and Communications at Sparke Helmore and is responsible for leading the team across marketing, publications, media relations, internal communications, events and social media. She works with the firm's senior management to support delivery of the firm's strategy.
Merryn works with all areas of the firm to provide marketing and communications support.
Merryn studied Business Management (Marketing) and Event Management at the University of Westminster in London, UK.
Before joining Sparke Helmore, Merryn worked for two of the Big 4 Accounting firms, EY and PwC. She also did a stint at Morningstar, the leading global provider of financial services research and data.
When she's not in the office, like most Australians who have spent time living abroad, Merryn is all about food and travel—combining the two is a bonus! To balance out her passion for cooking and eating, Merryn is a committed early riser and loves to pound out laps in the pool or ocean. She also enjoys winding down her day or weekend with beach walks, especially around Cabbage Tree Bay on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
