One of the largest consultancies in its field, Aquenta employs 280 people across seven
Australian offices. Through its parent company it is connected to a global network of
over 29,000 people in more than 40 countries.
Jonathan Brown is Aquenta’s WA Operational Manager and National Mining Sector Leader. In both
roles Jonathan oversees the development of strategic growth, continuous improvement and strong client
relationships. Jonathan’s teams listen to clients, provide pertinent advice and deliver consistently high
standards of service. Reflecting on his own extensive experience in advising clients, Jonathan believes that
any advice is most appreciated and beneficial when it is “frank and provided without fear of consequence”.
The culture of the Aquenta business is driven by its organisational values of respect, integrity and
excellence, and these align closely with Jonathan’s own personal values. “I believe that respect, integrity,
caring and striving for excellence is fundamental to future success”, he explains.
One of Jonathan’s greatest achievements at Aquenta to date has been to create an environment where people
can present new ideas, safe in the knowledge they will be supported and encouraged. It is these ideas that can
often provide competitive advantage and a differentiated service proposition.
Jonathan has seen the WA Mining Club’s membership grow substantially since becoming a member in 2010.
He finds the lunches a great way to expand his network, and the speakers informative and inspiring.
