Stuart
Benjamin.
Leading large-scale housing and development enterprises, chairing boards and advocating for regional and rural Australia.
Progress happens when we connect the dots.
My work sits at the intersection of enterprise, housing and regional development. As a company director and independent director, I bring expertise in board governance and change management to boards and organisations navigating complex decisions.
From running large - scale housing and development enterprises to specialty key worker accommodation projects, I take a practical, collaborative approach - and a conviction that regional and rural Australia should help shape its own future.
