Aaron Carter Email & Phone Number

At heart, I am a commercially minded leader and change marker who loves collaborating with others to create meaningful change in our world. I have over 20 years of diverse multi-industry experience, both in owners’ teams and as a consultant and business owner. My expertise encompasses all types of organisational transformation and change – from design to operationalising change, corporate governance, business management, innovation and strategy.Twelve years ago, I co-founded Sandpit Innovation, an award-winning and highly successful consulting organisation with a wide portfolio of respected businesses across Australia and internationally. As a corporate Director and owner, I was responsible for day-to-day operations including all employees and client delivery, overall business strategy and the commercial standing of the business. In the last six years of operation, our collective work delivered over $6 billion in tangible value for our clients and guided more than $1.5 billion worth of investment in improvement. Sandpit was acquired by the ASX-listed group Perenti (a former client of Sandpit) in 2020 and I became a founding executive and shareholder in their new corporate venture, idoba. As a conscious leader, I thrive on understanding the intricate nature of our interconnected world. My approach to business is rooted in sustainability, blending financial success with environmental responsibility and social good. I am known for being a relationship-focused and values-driven leader, and I believe success often hinges on a deep commitment to collaborative efforts – strengthening relationships, nurturing and uplifting teams and building beneficial partnerships. I am a strong supporter of embedding sustainable practices and ethical principles into the foundation of transformation strategies and workplaces while working to shape and navigate global and national interests to bring beneficial impact, to our communities and the planet we share.Specialties: • Commercial Management and Directorship• Transformation/reform program development and management• Business Strategy and Planning• IT / OT technology development and commercialisation• Leadership and Team Engagement• ‘Idea Assembly’ – developing novel ideas with issues, research and external input into fit-for-purpose solutions• Business Development• Innovation strategy and road-mapping, building the case for change• Management Operating Systems and remote operations• Asset Management• Reliability Engineering• Human Centred Strategy and Service Design
