Craig Manson
NED Marketboomer Pty Ltd
I am a Chair, Non-Executive, CEO & Director with over 10 years board experience across the private sector with particular experience in the technology, consumer electronics, healthcare and FMCG industries. At board level highlights include: Deputy Chair and NED of Harbour IT Pty Ltd Australia where I oversaw and advised on the move from low margin hardware to high margin cloud and managed services resulting in 100% increase in profit every year, and as NED of Marketboomer Holdings Ltd where I currently have set strategic direction for global expansion, narrowed vertical market focus and offerings and introduced better board governance, reporting and performance processes. This strategy has seen Marketboomer growing customer numbers by 45% YOY and has moved to profitability. In an executive capacity I am currently CEO of Change Hunters, helping clients elevate business performance and turnaround. Previously I was Managing Director of Computershare Communication Services Australia and Executive Director of Canon Business Services and Canon Finance. Finally, I am a graduate of the Company Directors Course of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, hold a Postgraduate in Diploma in Business from the University of Auckland and completed International Management course at Cranfield University (UK).
