Irene Bennetts

Founder of Admin Army, which offers agile, proactive business support services, Irene has led her team to employ the most effective combination of personal connection and modern technological automation.
With a number of “accolades” to her name, Irene considers her two greatest business successes to date to be spearheading the highly successful merge of Admin Army into the Streamline Business Group and the subsequent cohesive global culture she’s built with her rapidly expanding team.
Relationships are everything to Irene, and nothing makes her tick more than learning about and guiding other entrepreneurs and their business strategies.

Devin
Explanatory Video & Social Media Superstar
Devin is Rich’s spirit animal and mentokc’s mascot. He is well known by clients and followers for his explanatory videos about improving workplace performance and culture on mentokc’s social media platforms. He is always ready to lend a helping hand to those seeking assistance.
In short, Devin simplifies complex information relating to work environment growth and individual development. Devin’s experience of previously working in stressful environments with little or no motivation and growth has allowed him to be a sound guide for all who would like to improve their work-life overall.
Being part of the mentokc team has drastically changed Devin’s life for the better. The guidance, support and endless learning resources provided by the mentokc team appealed to Devin. As such, he is more than happy to share positive change allowing teams and individuals to experience sound leadership and workplace culture guidance.
Devin’s passion lies in helping create positive and productive team connections in a transparent and motivating environment using the latest technology for transformation.
When it comes to food, his favourite thing to eat is peanut butter on toast because it makes his inner child happy and is his comfort snack.
In his spare time, Devin enjoys DJing at clubs or partying it up with neon glowsticks as party accessories.

FRANCINE
Social Media Superstar
Francine is mentokc’s little helper who has been a part of the team since pretty much day one.
Her background involves hotel management, marketing and human resources making her fit right at home with our team at mentokc.
She has a Bachelor of Commerce in Hotel Management and a Certificate of Professional Development in Human Resource Generalist, both of which she received from the University of the South Pacific.
Being a member of the mentokc team has allowed Francine to expand her skills while learning new things, gain more insight and contribute in any way to mentokc’s vision and goals. Francine plays the crucial role at mentokc of keeping the team on track and making sure the marketing stuff is happening, it can’t all be extended reality and artificial intelligence! Sometimes the function is described internally as “politely stalking”!. You can also find Francine making some pretty sweet microlearning content!
Francine’s passion lies in creating interesting and helpful information centred around the workplace culture and individual development overall.
In her spare time, Francine enjoys outdoor activities or exploring new restaurants with her husband and friends. (and exploring her passion for Moscato!)
