Neale Myers

My career began at Mobil and I later transitioned to the supply chain sector, where I developed my tenacity to find innovative solutions that consistently deliver high growth across domestic and international markets. Embracing change, I've worked in different countries and across multiple cultures; mainly with smaller divisions of larger organisations including seven years in private equity. Typically, I adopt a logical and objective approach to reach the heart of a problem faster than most. I’m able to think creatively and outside the box to help reduce more complex matters into simple terms. I have extensive experience in buying and divesting businesses, completing integrations and bringing savings to the table. This has given me the ability to produce quality outcomes at a strategic level and build strong, enduring trust with all key stakeholders. Carrying a hands-on approach with highly adaptable skills, I thrive on building customer relationships with a collaborative leadership style embedded into my teams to sustain a competitive advantage. I have a strong reputation for expediting business rebuilds and achieving accelerated growth performance. I am passionate about leveraging my diverse experience and knowledge and bringing value to optimise business performance.
