Meet Jeremy Macvean: Leader in Parenting, Health and Wellbeing

A seasoned leader in health and wellbeing, Jeremy Macvean shares powerful insights on everything from parenting to marketing, strategy and comms for major organisations. As a speaker, he brings authenticity and unique insights as he sparks conversations about equality, loneliness, doing better, being yourself and living a healthier, balanced life in the modern world.
A Background in Marketing
Kicking off his career as a marketing and communications expert in the commercial world, Jeremy decided to pivot and focus on the big issues that matter – health and wellbeing. That led to work with organisations like the Royal Women’s Hospital, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Telstra Health and Transitioning Well. He’s also played a big role supporting healthier, happier men through his work as Regional Director Asia Pacific and Global Chief Marketing Officer at Movember for over a decade.
Life as a Dad Changed All
Parenting changes everything. It’s a change that comes with its challenges but is ultimately more rewarding. Jeremy noticed that the portrayal of dads and fatherhood hasn’t really changed with the rest of the world. Out of any role that Jeremy has had, fatherhood brings him the most joy and biggest challenges. The experience has shaped him into a dad on a mission to get all dads showing up and giving fatherhood a real go from birth all the way through life.
In 2019, Jeremy co-founded The Father Hood with Luke Benefictus and Andrew McUtchen, a dad-focused media platform to shine the light on fatherhood and help guide others to thrive and survive in the job that really counts. The trio decided to take the best ideas and aspects of their platform and turn it into a book. The result was The Father Hood: Inspiration For The New Dad Generation. Similar to the platform, it shines a spotlight on the modern dad through a collection of interviews, essays, stats and insights.
Tackling the Loneliness Epidemic
Jeremy also tackles the “loneliness epidemic” increasingly common in our modern world, where people feel isolated despite access to constant communication. He discusses solutions to social isolation like finding a purpose and creating authentic connections in personal and professional life.
Forging a New Path to 50/50
Tying into his thoughts about modern fatherhood, Jeremy reinforces the importance of achieving gender equality at home and in the workplace. Until it’s unremarkable for a man to be equally involved in domestic life, barriers will remain for women playing an equal role in the workforce. Jeremy gets to the heart of what stands in our way to achieving equity in the workplace – and it starts at home.
Parenting, health, personal balance – it all ties in to how we can all live a better life in our modern world.
