In 1998, he took his first senior executive role, as CEO of the St. John of God Healthcare Services Group and spent the next seven years in this and other CEO roles with a change leadership and turnaround focus. He also gained experience as a non-executive director.

Since 2006, Nigel has focused on coaching, mentoring and leadership development, as a Principal with major leadership development consulting firms. His program clients have included large global and Australian listed companies, State government-owned energy businesses and a well-known mutual organisation.
