Michael Claessens’s Expertise Recognised as a driven innovator, I thrive in complex stakeholder environments and delivering outcomes. Experience in industry and investment across agrifood, foreign aid, resource industries,transport and advanced manufacturing rounds out my skill set. I have had extensive involvement in economic development & regulation including in the regions. Senior positions in the NFP sector and government show that strong Strategy Development and Project Management skills are my hallmarks. I build energetic teams that believe in an organisation’s objectives with the freedom to create better ways of getting there. We are building an Australian first-City Region Food System boosting jobs, sustainability and nutrition. Having helped initiate the ACTs first local food strategy, I’m on the look out for new challenges and opportunities in the NFP space. I understand the value of building collaborative networks as a vehicle for delivering profound, sustainable improvements in business competitiveness. I strongly believe that social responsibility and inclusion should go hand in hand with business success. I was an accomplished athlete in my early decades: enjoying white water kayak racing; flat water sprint and ski racing competition representing various Surf Life saving clubs.
