About Stuart Donehue

LEADER | BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT | PROGRAM AND OPERATIONAL DELIVERY EXCELLENCE Hi I'm Stu. Someone asked me a while back,"What's the one thing that people seem interested in when you're sharing stories about your life?" My answer was immediate: it was my trek/stay at the Everest Base Camp—a life-changing experience that stretched me to the limit and allowed me to observe the way I strategise, overcome obstacles, show determination, identify the risks, maintain balance, and form friendships. Why am I revealing all this? Well, it's because the attributes that I employed to conquer my fears, remain cheerful in freeze-to-the-bone weather, and keep momentum going at Everest despite all the odds, are the same traits that allow me to achieve some amazing results in my career. For instance: Overcoming Obstacles: I saved millions of dollars by winning back a contract on the brink of closure by identifying key issues and establishing a priority and resolution path. Risk Prevention: I was one of 18 executives globally to receive a formal performance rating of outstanding due to my efforts in creating stabilising initiatives that protected profitability, reduced regional costs, and accelerated offshore services.*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ My background boasts engagements with Vodafone, AAPT, HCL, Tata Consulting and Transport for NSW — shaping directions, devising tactical action plans and engaging stakeholders.
