About nem
nem was founded by experienced business leaders who believed there was a better way to support other leaders through the challenges and opportunities that matter.
Today, nem is a boutique consulting firm across Australia and New Zealand, bringing together experienced Partners with diverse industry, leadership and business management backgrounds.
We help clients get clear on what’s really happening, bring in the right people and perspective, and work alongside them to turn decisions into action.

What started with helping business owners solve real commercial problems has grown into a Partner network working across private business, government and associations — while keeping the same practical, relationship-led approach.

Foundations
nem was founded in Melbourne in 2001 by three experienced executives who saw an opportunity to give business owners access to the kind of practical commercial experience that can be difficult to find from inside the business.
Since then, nem has grown across Australia and New Zealand and now works with privately owned businesses, government, associations and larger organisations.
What has remained constant is the belief that the best outcomes come from understanding the real issue, bringing in the right experience and working alongside clients to move forward.

Meet our Partners
nem brings together experienced business people across Australia and New Zealand, with backgrounds spanning industries, functions, leadership roles, Boards and business ownership.
Many of our Partners have led or owned substantial businesses themselves.
They bring that experience directly to client engagements — working hands-on, challenging thinking when needed and drawing on the wider nem group when a different perspective or capability can add value.

Careers
nem gives experienced business people the opportunity to put their commercial knowledge to work in a different way.
Partners work independently while being part of a collaborative group, with access to the experience, relationships and support of the wider nem network.
We look for people with substantial business experience, sound judgement and a genuine interest in helping leaders work through important business challenges.

Our Network
Strong relationships extend the experience available to our clients.
nem Partners have established networks across industries, professions and communities. When a situation calls for expertise outside nem, those relationships can help connect clients with the right people.
It’s another way we ensure the solution is shaped around the client’s need rather than limited by who happens to be in the room.
See nem in Action
From client work and industry events to major projects across the region, nem Partners stay closely connected to the businesses, organisations and communities they work with.
