Medical Director – Dr Mario Terri
Dr Mario Terri joined Ashley and Martin in 1996 as a hair transplant surgeon. The belief at that time by many surgeons of this period was that a transplant was always the best option. After exposure to the benefits of the RealGROWTH program Dr Terri felt that medical interception was a better outcome if the patient was suitable. As such hair transplantation became less frequent.
With his firsthand knowledge of surgical hair replacement it did not take long for Dr Terri to start improving all aspects of the RealGROWTH program. Within 2 years of taking up employment with Ashley and Martin, Dr Mario Terri became the medical director of the entire group. Dr Terri still conducts well over 3,000 consultations per year which would make him one of the most experienced hair loss doctors in Australia. He is still working with our pharmacists to achieve a higher level of efficacy. Dr Terri is also involved in the senior management group on all workings within the company.
Digital Marketing Strategist – Rob Donkersloot
Rob has had a long career in advertising and marketing; he commenced work in advertising agencies after leaving University, and founded one of Western Australia’s first firms specialising in online in 1997.
With over fifteen years’ experience in all things online, Rob has worked on digital marketing projects for many varied organisations such as Carlton United Breweries, Tourism Australia, Newscorp, Rio Tinto and Synergy.
Working as a consultant for Ashley and Martin since 2006, Rob has been influential in leading the company’s direction in terms of website communication, online systems development and online marketing.
The online area has been a significant contributor to Ashley and Martin’s growth and success over the last decade, and the importance of this area was further recognised when Rob was asked to join the Ashley and Martin management team in 2013 as the organisation’s Online Marketing Strategist.
Rob enjoys working for a category market leader, and sees this as a reflection of Ashley and Martin’s professionalism as well as the proven services and products it offers people seeking a solution for hair loss.
He feels Ashley and Martin’s focus on innovation including the very the latest techniques and technologies right through all areas of its business will see it further enhance its position as a leader in the worldwide hair loss treatment industry.
