Meet the Founder

Chad is the Managing Director of Stowcrest. His professional career spans working at and with top-tier consultancies, boutiques and as an independent adviser. Chad has been fortunate to work for clients across (all levels of) government, mining and resources, financial services, national security, oil and gas, superannuation, technology and more sectors.

Prior to his consulting career, he was an Intelligence Officer providing strategy, risk and intelligence advice to Prime Ministers, the Government of Australia, international partners and military commanders, in support of national policy, strategy, capability development and operations.

He has earned the trust of decision makers by providing the analysis, advice and strategic response they need as they face significant challenges and opportunity. Chad has supported programs, projects, transformation, initiatives, strategies, plans and operations for some of the world's biggest companies through to start-ups.

Recently, his work with clients has seen a dominant focus on the execution of strategy through operating model transformation. His ability to understand root causes of key problems, and to translate complexity into coherent models and actions, allows clients to bridge the elusive gap between 'big, bold desires' and practical business change.

Although excellence as a professional is important to Chad, he tries to keep all things in a healthy balance. Above all else, he believes that the way we treat each other - family, friends, colleagues, strangers - and the world we are a part of, matters most in life. Investing the best of ourselves in those relationships around us will give us joy and fulfilment through all phases in life, and also help us cope better with the challenges, weaknesses and disappointments that we encounter along the way.
