I stopped advising
businesses and
started running them

Now I help other owners get more from every hour they work, and work fewer of them.

From the boardroom to the rosters

For about ten years I worked in strategy and transformation, including nearly five years at McKinsey & Company, where I coached senior leaders on strategy and performance.

The clients were big: Fortune 500 companies, major Australian banks, a national airline, retail groups, and start-ups in supply chain and education.

Then I left, and started running businesses instead of advising them. Today I run four, all in Sydney. They are in the same industries as many of the owners I coach, and they have the same problems: too much admin, not enough hours, and no budget for another person.

For the last two years I have been working out which AI tools genuinely fix that, and which ones waste a Saturday. Not as an experiment, but inside my own businesses, where getting it wrong costs real money.

What came out of it is a practical way of coaching owners, and a set of systems I now help them build.

Colleagues on working with Anit

”

I worked with Anit as a fellow coach in the digital tribe at Qantas and anyone on the floor would be able to immediately identify the wealth of knowledge and expertise that Anit possesses in the agile space. Whether it related to people, process, technology or other, Anit was a pleasure to collaborate on ideas with and I would highly recommend his services to any organisation that is looking to improve.

During my role at Qantas I had the opportunity work with Anit throughout the digital transformation. His ability to lead and motivate a team was fantastic. He has a rapport and the respect of many of the senior stakeholders in the business due to his vast experience in agile practices. His technical and delivery background means that he has a deep understanding of the requirements for successful project delivery. He takes initiative to improve process and ways of working across the broader business and is always happy to support with coaching, training and agile development. I have enjoyed working with him and hope one day to have him on my team again as he is an asset to any organisation. I wish him all the best!

Working with Anit was a breeze. He was always calm under pressure and always remained professional. The one characteristic that stood out for me was the drive to continuously improve himself, others around him as well as his work. He always gave feedback and equally took on feedback which was a good trait as leader. I know in whatever he does he will go above and beyond because of the impeccable work ethic he has.

Credentials and training

Guest speaking

Education has always been my passion topic. I really love to continuously improve all the time and learn from my experiences. I figured that currently, there aren’t much avenues for the current students to be able to learn the latest what is in the industry but also learning from the experts and their learnings.

When I was approached for the guest lecture and tutoring technology students on agile topics, I felt this was a great opportunity and I keep doing it now as it is something very close to my heart. If you wish me to be a guest speaker at your university, then don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

What I bring

Strategy pedigree: McKinsey & Company, Fortune 500 and ASX-scale clients, and executive coaching on strategy and performance. Operator experience: four businesses I actually run, in the industries many of my clients work in.

Executive coaching: leaders and business owners, on growth, scale and the decisions that come with both. AI, done carefully: hands-on implementation, plus the part most people skip: privacy, Australian Consumer Law, and the Australian Government guidance on AI adoption.

I am a proud supporter of the Cancer Council Australia.

According to Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, one in two australian men or women will be diagnosed with cancer till the age of 85. In 2020 alone, upto 150,000 people were estimated to be diagnosed and almost upto 50,000 deaths were estimated in 2020.

Cancer Council Australia supports all types of cancer and while being in Australia for more than a decade, I know how serious this issue is.

Moreover, my wife works as a nurse in the cancer care centre and so are many of my friends and family members in the health care.While being with them, I have realised the importance and impacts of this and surely wanted to support helping people with cancer as much as I could.
