What my clients say…
“Stuart is a well-performed senior executive with an unusually wide skill base. He has performed very well in a number of roles, with project management being probably his outstanding strength. His achievements in managing the day-to-day aspects of the NRMA demutualisation were of the highest order and he is very well suited to managing complex and difficult challenges. Reliability, honesty and a strong work ethic are the hallmarks of his personal characteristics.”
Eric DoddFormer CEO and Managing Director, NRMA Insurance Group and MBF/BUPA Australia
“Stuart is the most insightful project manager on large corporate deals that I have worked with. He has an astounding gift of being able to coordinate a number of workstreams, while at the same time exercising astute judgment on challenging issues. And that is the environment where he performs best: situations that are ‘issues rich’ and involve dealing with the full array of technical specialties while effectively managing media and other communications. This was showcased during the NRMA demutualisation.”
David FriedlanderPartner, King & Wood Mallesons

Chris MackayCo-Founder, Magellan Financial Group; Former Chairman, UBS Australia
