Joseph Kusia is a Melbourne-based consultant whose work spans financial services, private capital, infrastructure and real estate, with additional experience across technology, industrials and government. Combining a strategic perspective with a pragmatic and collaborative approach, Joseph advises investors, boards and leadership teams on executive search, succession and leadership assessment, helping them identify exceptional talent and build effective leadership teams.
I am fascinated by the relationship between leadership, capital and long-term value creation. Helping organisations find the right leaders, and supporting those leaders to realise their potential and create lasting impact, is both a privilege and a responsibility.
