About Michael Fairweather
Skills
My qualifications and experiences culminated in my recent positions as Chairman of the Board of directors in a number of companies, a director on Boystown, and the Rank of Major General in the Australian Army Reserve. I work with Australian Defence Industry to develop their Defence markets.
These roles allowed me to make use of my skills and experience in leadership, teamwork, negotiation, strategic planning, international trade and governance, amongst others. I was awarded an AM for my work in reforming Part-Time Officer training at the Royal Military College, and in transforming and leading the Australian Army Cadets organisation.
I have developed leaders, individuals and teams at all levels, and facilitated significant change. I am skilled and experienced in planning, decision-making, and negotiation.
