Theme leader - Risk, governance and assurance

“Todd is, in my opinion, one of the pre-eminent thought leaders on internal audit, risk management and corporate governance in the Australasian region.” Tom McLeod, Group GM Audit & Compliance - PaperlinX, National Director - IIA Australia
I’ve spent the past 20 years working with a range of organisations of all shapes, sizes, industries and sectors to get a deep understanding of what makes them successful, and why they sometimes come unstuck.
Over the years I have gained great satisfaction from seeing people succeed and knowing that I helped them chart the right course whether by taking calculated risks, or avoiding preventable mishaps.
In terms of my own course, I’ve followed whatever I believed to be my highest and best use at the time and this has taken me on a series of journeys:
- as an accountant and advisor to small business
- as a management consultant working in a developing public policy, to national marketing and branding campaigns, property feasibility, urban renewal strategy, project management, strategic asset management, business planning and a range of other things
- 10+ years in operational risk, assurance, board advisory and related disciplines
- running a think-tank in the New York area and driving a global innovation strategy in risk-based assurance
- as the head of audit & risk in a top 50 media company
- several Directorships in small start ups and NGOs
- as a lobbyist and think tank leader
- many side projects, business ventures and interests and primarily in software, property, new media and music.
After many years in corporate and helping many organisations make hundreds of millions of dollars in incremental profit, I started a boutique consulting practice and now lead the Risk, Governance and Assurance stream at Resilient Futures. You can read some of my latest thinking in this space here.
