Chair Profile

‘Having started my career on the tools and later led businesses across Australia and Asia, I’ve seen leadership from every angle. The moments I’m most proud of haven’t been the commercial achievements, but helping business owners and leaders work through difficult decisions, challenge their thinking and grow into more confident leaders.

Nick Czeperko is an experienced CEO, business owner and strategic leader who has spent more than 35 years building and leading businesses across Australia and Asia. Beginning his career in the electrical trade, he successfully built a national distribution business into an international operation before leading the Australian market entry and growth of an overseas company as CEO.

His journey from the workshop floor to the boardroom has given him a practical understanding of what it takes to grow a business at every stage. Equally comfortable discussing operational challenges, financial performance or long-term strategy, Nick brings both commercial discipline and real-world experience to the leaders he works alongside.

Having worked extensively throughout China, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong, Nick has developed deep experience navigating international markets, diverse business cultures and complex commercial environments. Today he draws on that experience to help business leaders make better decisions, lead with confidence and build businesses that are positioned for sustainable growth.

Career highlights include:

  • More than 35 years’ experience leading and growing businesses in Australia and internationally.
  • Built and led a national distribution business, growing annual revenue to $15 million.
  • Former CEO responsible for launching and expanding an international business into the Australian market.
