Graham has developed a comprehensive breadth of skills and knowledge over more than twenty years' experience in human resources management (HRM) and management consulting. He has worked in HRM for a number of major international companies including Unilever, LaPorte Chemicals Group, British Oxygen Corporation and P&O Stevedoring.
His experience covers a range of industries including consumer goods manufacturing, industrial gases (B2B environment), chemicals, IT and service industries including stevedoring, consulting and telecommunications. He has worked with all levels within organisations from the support, production and shop floor areas to middle, senior and executive level management. Graham's expertise gained over his career includes recruitment at all levels of an organisation, training and development policy and practice, organisational design, change management, employee and industrial relations and operational and strategic human resource management.
Over the past ten years, Graham’s diverse experience has included three years in a "start-up" environment as the HR Director for an emerging public telecommunications company establishing the HR function and practices, in part drawing upon the HR practices of the major US shareholder. Graham did a similar thing for P&O Stevedoring in the early 90s, including active participation in the resolution of significant waterfront industrial relations issues.
Through the mid-90s, Graham's worked as a management consultant - firstly in his own practice, which then grew to be a HR partnership that was later acquired by IBM as the core of their Organisational Change competency in Australia. As a consequence of this, Graham spent three years employed by IBM as a Principal in the IBM Consulting Group.
Additionally, Graham has international experience in the Middle East, the Asia Pacific region and North America, having worked on engagements in countries including Kuwait, Dubai, Bangladesh, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong and the USA.
Graham holds a BA (Psychology) from Macquarie University and a Master of Arts Degree in Psychology from the University of Sydney. He has also completed studies in Taxation Law at UTS and Labour Relations and Industrial Law through the Law Faculty of the University of Sydney.
He is a past Member of the Australian Psychological Society (MAPsS), including past Chairmanship of the College of Organisational Psychology, a past Associate Fellow of the Australian Human Resources Institute (CMAHRI), a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and is a Registered Psychologist in NSW.
