“Geoff has served as an advisor on matters concerning marketing and teaching in my school/training facility. Always the first to volunteer information, I have found his insights most helpful and inspirational. I only wish I could send more time with him.”
Daran Pratt, Owner, Edge First Group
“Geoff was a breath of fresh air to work with at Telstra over 2006 & 2007.
He had an uncanny knack of cutting through the politics and ensuring that his partners and providers were able to concentrate on implementation and get the best job done. He is your archetypal multi-tasker - one of the few blokes that can wear both a big picture 'strategic' cap and a 'get the project done' cap. He is a straight shooter - honest, trustworthy and highly capable. He was able to converse and deal effectively at the most senior levels within Telstra, as well as at grass roots.”
Mark Dalgleish, Executive Chairman, C4 Communication Pty Ltd
