Steve is a refugee from the corporate world. In his past life he held executive roles for AMP, Watson Wyatt, Thomas Cook, Solectron Corp. (US) and Woolworths where he finished with responsibility for people, change leadership and organisational development for the Logistics Division. In the Not-for-Profit sector Steve has been involved with a number of organisations helping with strategy, general management challenges and as a non-Executive Director — principally with CanTeen — the Australian Organisation for Young People Living with Cancer. He also acted as Chief Executive Officer of CanTeen during a period of crisis management and organisational transition.
In March 2005 Steve started Move 4 Life which is now Australia’s leading provider of training and consulting in the prevention of strain and sprain injury at work and home.
Currently Steve is involved with not-for-profits (CanTeen, Left Right Think-Tank, Soften The fck Up.org.au and others), Community and non-partisan Political Organisations (the Sydney Alliance) and is developing a number of for-profit business opportunities.
Steve lives in Bondi with his partner Yuki and shares ownership of his apartment with the bank. He says that if Australia can harness and act on the ideas of its young people then our country is in good shape. And, since he turned 40 in 2011, working with some of Australia’s brightest young minds in Left Right is a privilege that helps keep him young!
