Speaker Bio: Mr. Chris Dionne, Head of Australasia, Shirlaws Group Chris is a founding partner of the Shirlaws Group of companies, an organisation that advisors and supports private enterprises on how to grow, fund, exit and realise the potential of one of their biggest assets - their business. By leveraging the Shirlaws Group capabilities Chris has been instrumental in expanding the enterprise globally over the past 15 years by using the tools and methodologies developed by the group. Chris truly understands the value of building solid foundations for an enterprise. Chris’ current role as Head of Australasia for both Shirlaws Coaching and Assay Advisory has Chris working with best in class business heads supporting them in their strategic objectives and overall business/personal goals to improve their assets. Chris’ intimate knowledge of the Asia Pacific rim has seen his skill set transferred to many businesses in Malaysia, China, Singapore, Philippines and Hong Kong. Clients in these countries that have utilised Shirlaws Group IP achieved a competitive advantage over their industry peers. In Chris’ view many enterprises have underperformed through market cycles and are not aware of the hidden value within their business. By focusing on key areas of business they have increased their performance and therefore their overall value. A key outcome for clients is learning how to extract and leveraging the hidden value in a business. Clients learn the fundamental elements of both business and economic cycles given Chris’ funds management background and experience so they can achieve their full potential and reap the rewards. In utilising these skills and the Shirlaws Group IP Chris and his founding partners grew Shirlaws Australia to be on the BRW Fast 100 list 2 years running in 2003 – 7th place & 2004 – 57th place. Some key points about Chris: Has the foresight to extract opportunities for clients businesses Leaves businesses with a habitual change process by transferring skills, IP and knowledge Empowers and motivates high level sales professionals to improve performance Facilitates strategic retreats for senior management and leadership teams to create alignment Understands cultural barriers that assists with international expansion Known for advising on board structures and corporatisation of enterprises moving to the next level of maturity HKABA NSW Chapter Platinum Sponsors:
