Business Leader

Business Leaders are management and leadership professionals who head-up SMEs, industrial organisations, public and private companies, as well as industry peak bodies. They steer the direction of the organisation while overseeing the daily operations and marketing through teams of middle managers and departmental heads.

As a business leader you could be reviewing the latest financial dashboard, visting a satellite site, representing your company at an industry think-tank, negotiating next-year’s budget with the CFO/financial controller, signing a procurement contract, or leading a general staff meeting. It’s a demanding occupation for energetic and visionary individuals who thrive on challenge and problem solving.
