Career Journey
Career Story
I’ve had a unique career having spent 50% of it as a business owner/leader/ manager and 50% as a consultant/advisor to C-level management.
In many years of business leadership and strategic consulting experience I’ve learnt a lot and done a lot. And I know a lot about what works and makes an impact, and what doesn’t.
As CEO I led the transformation of three businesses in diverse industries- funds management, tourism & leisure, strategic management consulting. I've run three awarded advertising agencies, including one of my own. And founded other businesses in consulting, training, strata management and recycling .
I’ve consulted for international Fortune 500 companies like BMW, ING and Mobil and Australian giants like Coles Myer, AMP and Telstra- as well as heaps of small to medium businesses, in virtually every market sector.
I’ve taken #4 brands to #1 and successfully launched a myriad of new products including three ‘world-first’ products in different categories.
