About

Sean Wilson is an accomplished executive leader with 20+ years’ experience leading multi-million-dollar organisations and divisions to achieve their mission.

He's served in board appointed CEO roles for over 10 years, and on boards and committees for businesses, government and not for profits, including office bearer roles, for over a decade.

His qualifications span Business Management, Marketing, Legal Services, Human Resources, Information Technology and Company Director certification – backed by credentials from professional bodies including the AICD, ICDA, GIA, AHRI, ITPA and CEO Institute.

He's an expert in building organisations that grow stronger and operate smarter. With an adaptable leadership style that drives operational excellence, organisational design, multi-site leadership, and high-performance cultures. He's experienced in modernising systems, driving digital transformation, and embedding data-driven decision-making to maximise results.

He's built and led many high-performance teams, consistently reached and or exceeded targets in highly competitive markets, and won numerous awards. He's repeatedly lifted EBITDA, transformed losses to profit, delivered double- and triple-digit revenue growth, increased ACV and ARR, and lifted valuations by up to 250%.

If you need someone who can steady the operation, modernise how the business runs, strengthen governance, and scale without chaos - that’s what he can bring. He runs organisations end-to-end, make decisions that move the numbers, and leave the business in better shape than he found it.
