Governance grounded in three decades of commercial reality
Duncan Schieb is an experienced company director and Australian Institute of Company Directors member, available for board and advisory roles. His commercial career spans 30 years and four continents — building and leading businesses in property, auctions and events, raising more than $200 million for non-profit organisations, and advising boards on governance and growth. He brings a practitioner's judgement to the boardroom: commercially direct, governance-literate, and experienced in organisations where reputation and relationships are the balance sheet.
