Hard-learned leadership lessons from both the military and the corporate world
Chief Operations Officer
Jonathan turns organisational confusion into clarity people can act on.
But he doesn’t pretend leadership is easy. Jonathan has spent two decades proving that clarity, discipline and straight talk beat corporate noise every time. His foundations were built as an Infantry Officer in the Australian Defence Force where he learned how people behave under pressure, how teams fail when communication collapses, and how quickly things change when the right leader steps forward.
Today, he brings that same philosophy to organisations struggling with change, disengagement or internal fog. Jonathan specialises in leadership, organisational change, strategy execution and people performance. He’s not a presenter who talks at a room. He’s a facilitator who gets people thinking, speaking and owning the solution.
Across industries, Jonathan has guided executive teams, frontline supervisors and technical specialists through the messy reality of transformation. He listens first, cuts through complexity and translates it into decisions people can act on. Whether he’s navigating digital projects, aligning a fractured team, or helping leaders face uncomfortable truths, Jonathan brings a simple approach that works: understand the humans, then build from there.
He thrives when the challenge is ambiguous, the stakes are high and the path forward isn’t obvious. If your organisation needs someone who can make sense of chaos, build capability and lift performance without the buzzwords, Jonathan is the person you want in the room.
