Steven Trigg

Steven has considerable experience in a wide range of leadership situations – particularly in relation to business, service industries, sports management and media.

His business and Human Resource skills were initially developed with an international aviation company, requiring strategic management and leadership of HR and IR programs (including Enterprise Bargaining) – and extensive dealing and negotiation with government bodies. Those skills – and others such as strategic planning, project management and general leadership – have since been applied in senior management roles including the positions of Chief Executive at both the Adelaide and Carlton Football Clubs.

He has also served on a number of commercial and charitable Boards; and has completed a ‘Masters of Business Administration’ – to complement an Education Degree and a Management Diploma. Steven’s major strength is that he has extensive leadership and management experience with people in diverse and very complex and demanding organisations. Specifically, those strengths are in the areas of wine, elite sport, media/public relations, change management, policy development, project management, governance and general administration. He is married to Susie, and has two girls.
