Hi, I am Garry Schulz. I am the person the CEO turns to when they want advice or need to get something done. I expand their capacity, and that of their team, to deliver results. I amplify their impact and help them transform their organisation and achieve remarkable things. I do it as Chief of Staff and/or Head of Strategy in the Office of the CEO. I am a close confidant of the CEO. I earn their trust because I’m discreet and am a safe, reliable pair of hands. My KPIs are usually the same as the CEO’s and emphasise organisational growth and transformation. I play a pivotal, active, and direct role expanding the capacity of CEOs to: •Interpret and make sense of what's happening around them •Identify opportunities, frame problems and formulate strategies and roadmaps •Engage with stakeholders •Initiate action and get teams mobilised •Keep score and monitor progress •Change course, reflect, learn and grow I am effective because I bring a combination of deep experience, commercial nous, financial acumen, and creativity to my work. I’m comfortable with ambiguity, thrive on collaboration, value humility and believe work and fun should go hand in hand. My achievements include: •Transforming MinterEllison, growing revenue by 50% to $627M and profit by 36+% in five years and creating Australia’s largest Tier 1 law firm (up from #5) •Shaping PWCs local and global strategy and development, doubling revenue in Australia from $750M to $1.5B (and globally from $15B to $31B) between 1998 – 2012, and laying the platform for an unprecedented 20+ years of growth and industry dominance •Coaching, influencing and acting as confidant to a succession of highly successful CEOs and business leaders (including the Chairman of PWC Asia-Pac, three successive CEOs of PWC Australia and two CEOs of MinterEllison) •Leading major projects (client-facing and internal) that delivered a step change in organisational capability (e.g. transformational change intervention on asset management system for large public sector client (asset value $28B) restoring control of troubled $400M annual maintenance budget) •Championing innovation and pioneering applications of emerging technologies, including opening up brand new markets with a 10x increase in engagement size from $10M to $100M
