Founders

  • Noel Scully

    I enjoy helping professional services firms increase revenue and services to what clients genuinely need. Working with our Partners and their clients gives me unique insights into the SME. I'm always surprised and delighted by the results and it’s a real privilege for me to help along the way.  

  • John McKinstry

    I am passionate about helping clients unlock the hidden potential of their businesses and their networks. I have overseen the growth of the firm since inception. Client engagements included a variety of private and publicly listed businesses, not for profit organisations in addition to roles on advisory boards and Directorships.  

  • Andrew Jones

    What is different about nem work is that, as I tell my friends ‘I do not work for a living’. Each client is different, has different objectives and requires different solutions to get to where they want to be. This variety makes the work challenging and interesting.  

Board of Management

  • Gary Ayre

    Trusted Advisor is not a title, it is earned through delivering results and having hard discussions that challenge clients to achieve. I am fortunate to enjoy long-standing client relationships. Most projects are complex and long-term, relying on trusted relationships amongst partners, suppliers and most importantly, clients.  

  • Andrew Dick

    nem has taken me to many new and exciting areas. I enjoy working within a diverse range of businesses and seeing them benefit from our professional input. Through my extensive experience in the agriculture sector,  I now support family businesses, facilitation of meetings, project management & governance.

  • Glenn Mansfield

    Day-to-day joy comes from being able to work with the owners and management of businesses to solve problems. Experience with large business strategy and operations from a diverse collection of industry sectors, today allows me to support SMEs who otherwise could not access this depth of knowledge. 

  • Colin Hannah

    My time at nem has been a wonderful opportunity and provided the perfect vehicle to leverage my skills, learnings and experience across Australia's healthcare sector.  

    To help people realise their goals and dreams has been inspiring, rewarding and enormous fun!

    nem reflects how I like to do business and how to help businesses fulfil their potential.  It is uniquely collaborative, iterative and positive.  The range and scale of clients is amazing and this brings both very broad and also some niche experiences to the team that I can utilise in my work in the APAC Industrial sector.  

  • Bernie Bicknell

    nem provides me with the collegiate opportunity to deliver value to my clients which I could not do on my own, and the opportunity to add value to the work my Partners deliver to their clients. Everybody wins - particularly our clients!

    nem is an ideal business consulting structure that enables experienced and well networked executives to continue their careers at their own pace.

  • Peter Versluis

    I joined nem in 2013 and I'm still here. I was initially attracted by the flexibility that nem promised and I haven't been disappointed. I choose what, when, and how much to take on.
