About Ian Westmoreland - Founder, Mentoring Men & Kintsugi Heroes
After spending 42 years working in the Australian and New Zealand telecommunications and energy industries mainly as an IT project manager, Ian Westmorland left it all behind to pursue a life of volunteer work.
Initially, he spent time volunteering with the Raise Foundation, Kidshope, and COACH mentoring programs. Until 2018 when he began searching for an organization that provided free long-term one to one “life” mentoring to Australian men. Not finding a suitable program to be in existence, he began the development of the Mentoring Men program in June 2018 and the program was officially launched by Julian Leeser, Federal Member for Berowra in November 2018.
In addition to Mentoring Men, he has established another “passion project” called Kintsugi Heroes which provides uplifting and inspirational content to people who are experiencing or at risk of experiencing significant life challenges.
Ian has been married to his lovely wife Helen for 40 years, they have 4 children and 12 grandchildren together.
