Neil Baird-Watson

My Corporate experience crosses a gamut of business enterprises including retail, finance, bureau services, distribution, telecommunications, marketing and management consultancy with Senior Marketing roles for Epson, Telstra, Ericsson and HMV, and as a founder for start-ups in diverse industries. I’ve never been a pro golfer or been fired from a cannon at the circus, but those are on my bucket list.

I have had several General Management roles in mid-sized firms in import, sales and marketing and distribution companies.

I do my very best to make a difference in assisting my clients to translate business strategies into actionable results by recommending thought-leading speakers to match their specific needs.

What is your greatest professional achievement?
I advised a major Telco on the launch of services based on high-level market research of marketplace decision makers. I also founded, grew and sold 3 disruptive computer telephony firms in 1990’s, with the help of 35 fabulous staff and some very agile business strategies.

What do you love about being a part of the ICMI team?
I enjoy helping enterprises to solve their business problems. Not to mention, delivering the optimum client experience through seamless interaction between all the team members.

What do you like to do on the weekends?
Riding my road bike with a bunch of other cycling enthusiasts down beach road for coffee.

Visit a gallery, exhibition or catch up with family and friends for dinner. Cook, garden or embark on a project around the house.
