Jason Harfield

CEO & Managing Director

With over 20 years’ experience serving on and reporting to boards, my career has been deeply rooted in governance, strategic oversight, and leadership within highly regulated and complex industries where I have been instrumental in shaping the direction of organisations through my roles as both an executive and a board member, bringing a unique perspective that bridges operational execution with boardroom strategy. As a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (FAICD) my approach to governance is informed by a strong foundation in best practice and an unwavering commitment to integrity, accountability, and transparency. My board experience spans across jurisdictions, where I have provided strategic guidance, driven cultural transformations, and navigated organisations through significant industry shifts. In every board role, I have been dedicated to aligning organisational objectives with long-term strategic goals, ensuring that the governance frameworks I help shape are robust, adaptable, and forward-looking. My ability to manage complex stakeholder environments, coupled with my deep understanding of industry dynamics, enables me to contribute meaningfully to the strategic direction and sustainable growth of the organisations I serve.
