ABOUT HUW
Huw is Australia's foremost expert in building adaptive, change-ready leaders, teams and organisations. He is obsessed with turning everyday managers and executives into transformational change leaders and static organisational cultures into learning-oriented, adaptive powerhouses.
Huw has led award-winning projects and advised, coached and trained thousands of leaders at over 100 organisations spanning:
- Multi-billion-dollar ASX-listed enterprises
- Government agencies & enterprises
- Family-owned private businesses
- For-purpose not-for-profits
- Multi-Nationals
Huw is a life-long learner, with extensive qualifications, which along with his diverse experience gives him a broad spectrum of perspectives, concepts and techniques to draw upon.
Unlike many 'leadership experts' whose experience is theoretical from the sidelines, Huw possesses real business leadership experience. After several years acquiring world-class consulting skills at Accenture, Huw led the scaling of several professional services firms, including the 5x revenue growth of one startup in under five years. He is also a practicing non-executive company director and chairman of mid-sized NFP service business.
Most consultancies send in an army of generalists to implement programs for you, but don't teach you how to lead, govern and build capability to ensure sustained performance improvement.
That's where Huw is unique.
