    Chairman

    Two big transition in the life of a founder, particularly for a social enterprise that’s been build off my own story. They are two transition I am exceptionally proud of.

    The first was stepping down as CEO of batyr and handed over the reigns to Sam Refshauge. Like all big changes, the process was both incredibly rewarding and one of steep learning for the both of us. When I stepped back I was able to witness just how incredibly talented the whole team are and how driven everybody around…

    Two big transition in the life of a founder, particularly for a social enterprise that’s been build off my own story. They are two transition I am exceptionally proud of.

    The first was stepping down as CEO of batyr and handed over the reigns to Sam Refshauge. Like all big changes, the process was both incredibly rewarding and one of steep learning for the both of us. When I stepped back I was able to witness just how incredibly talented the whole team are and how driven everybody around them, from funders and batyr speakers, to teachers and parents, were continuing to have a positive impact in delivering preventative mental health programs for young people......

    The Chair role is as unique in opportunity as it is in responsibility. I took on this role knowing that to equip this growing team with the resources and tools to achieve our ambitious goals over the next five years will require me to step up with them. It’s been a honour to be in that role for 6-7 odd years now. And it’s with even greater pride to be able to hand the reigns over to someone with a unique talent, experience and drive to see batyr through to our next phase of evolution.

    My role now moves to a more behind the scenes role as friend, mentor, ambassador and I guess forever “founder”.
