Marcus Watson
Marcus Watson is CEO at BackTrack, and was previously Executive Manager. With a diverse background spanning the engineering and construction industries and the community sector, Marcus is a senior leader in youth training and employment initiatives, and social enterprise. He spearheaded the BackTrack Network to scale the impact of BackTrack's life changing work, and also established the social enterprise, BackTrack Works, to provide a holistic approach to training and employment opportunities for BackTrack’s young people. He is keenly aware of how entrenched disadvantage makes young people vulnerable to incarceration, substance abuse and homelessness and has built multiple initiatives that operate in the gap between youth work services and the labour market.
