Helping Manufacturers Enter and Scale in the Australian Market

Australia continues to be a high-value, high-potential destination for global manufacturers—especially those targeting long-term growth in stable, high-consumption markets.

And with the 2032 Brisbane Olympics on the horizon, opportunities for manufacturers—particularly in infrastructure, consumer goods, construction materials, logistics, and branded products—are accelerating.

But here’s the catch:
Getting it right requires more than just shipping a product.

It requires insight. It requires execution. And it often requires local leadership that international teams can trust.

That’s where I come in.

🌏 Why Australia?

Australia offers:

  • A strong, stable economy
  • High per-capita income
  • Western business culture with a pro-trade regulatory system
  • Strategic positioning between Asia and Western markets

With the Brisbane Olympics just 7 years away, the country is entering a significant growth and procurement phase—and international manufacturers who establish early have a clear first-mover advantage.

Think:

  • Building materials and prefab for Olympic infrastructure
  • Sustainability solutions (carbon reduction, green packaging)
  • Consumer products that will fuel a tourism boom
  • Tech hardware and smart city components

🧩 How I Help Manufacturers Break In (and Scale)

I work with international manufacturers—particularly those from Europe and Asia—who want to test and enter the Australian market with clarity and capability.

I offer a two-phase support model:

Phase 1: Feasibility & Market Entry Strategy

Before you commit resources, I help you understand:

  • The real demand for your product
  • Regulatory, import, and labelling requirements
  • Local competition and pricing benchmarks
  • Potential sales and distribution channels
  • Risks and go-to-market options

This phase ends with a comprehensive feasibility study and a practical market entry plan.

Phase 2: Execution as Your Fractional CRO or COO

If the plan is viable, I step in to execute alongside you—without the need for hiring a full-time local executive.

✅ As a Fractional CRO, I:

  • Build sales and distribution strategies
  • Identify and manage channel partners
  • Create pricing and positioning frameworks
  • Lead or coach your local sales effort

✅ As a Fractional COO, I:

  • Oversee import and compliance operations
  • Establish warehousing, logistics, or 3PL partnerships
  • Implement operational workflows and systems
  • Act as your in-market executive liaison

You get strategic leadership without full-time overhead or risk.

🎯 Why Work With Me?

  • 🇦🇺 Australian-based—with real-time access to local networks and decision-makers
  • 🇪🇺 27 years of leadership experience in Europe—I understand your culture, concerns, and internal reporting needs
  • Personally secured GBP£750k of materials for London 2012
  • 🤝 Flexible engagement model—no lock-in, scalable support
  • 🚀 Market-focused and execution-ready—not just theory

🏅 The Brisbane Olympics: An Opportunity to Act Now

The Olympics may seem far away—but procurement, infrastructure, retail partnerships, and brand positioning are ramping up now.

Manufacturers who act in 2025–2026 can:

  • Secure early contracts and partnerships
  • Localize for Australian consumer trends
  • Establish distribution and scale ahead of demand

The window is open, but it won’t stay that way for long.
