About Neil

After being exposed to a number of professional roles in both government and non-government organisations a desire was ignited in Neil to build an organisation that has a values-based approach to doing business. Neil fundamentally believes that people require great places to work, and so, more than 20 years ago he founded MODAL.

Neil has had the pleasure of working with many great people who share the belief that leaders create organisations that are great places to work. His coaching experience is extensive across all levels of organisations, and his most recent work was focused on developing high performance executive teams and executive coaching. Neil’s coaching relationships with leaders at all levels has resulted in improved clarity, a more open results-oriented approach, and leaders that realise their worth within the demanding business environment.

Neil has worked with several industries including mining, oil & gas, financial, manufacturing, engineering & construction, transport & logistics. He has also mentored Executives in a variety of organisations such as; BHP Billiton Iron Ore, BHP Billiton Nickel West, Racing & Wagering WA, Ramsay Health, Western Power, Rosslyn Hill Mining, Honeywell, Microsoft, Woodside and BP.
