Anthony Carrigan is the epitome of a gentleman and a man of stature and gravitas, tempered by humility and humour (he has offered free grains of salt with this Placement statement!). Quietly spoken, articulate, clearly intelligent, quick on the uptake, super confident and very well-connected, his career has been focused on business change and transformation against a humanitarian background.
In Australia and globally, Anthony’s impressive career as a CEO, executive leader, company secretary, and financial expert has given him a wealth of experience and an extraordinarily wide skillset. His lengthy career has been focused on creating positive change and transformation – often against extraordinary odds. In an understated career summary, Anthony said: “Contributing to positive action has kept me in the development sector and on the road (globally) for nearly 20 years.”
Anthony’s (humanitarian) world view has been shaped by working in Australia, USA, UAE, Tanzania, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste, Oman, Macedonia, Afghanistan, Haiti, Kenya, Cambodia. India, Indonesia, Nauru, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Malawi and Papua New Guinea.
He has handled all aspects of management from HR, financial management, procurement, governance and reporting and business development. Anthony has served on Boards, managed property portfolios and estimates he has now run approximately one billion in projects with those projects totalling approximately $150 million in any given year.
