Through the programme he is keen to ensure the profile of ICAS continues to be raised across the Melbourne business community, and is excited to be involved in the initiative.

Outside of work Stuart enjoys travelling with his family, taking advantage of the opportunities to explore Australia and beyond. He is also actively involved in sports both on and off the field, and also spends many hours at the world famous MCG watching cricket and AFL.
