An experienced business owner and entrepreneur Jamie has been building businesses in the financial marketplace for over 20 years. With a history in the Investment advise industry he has a Bachelor of Banking and Finance, a Post Graduate Diploma of Financial Planning, is a Certified Financial Planner and an accredited SMSF Specialist Advisor. Building businesses and transforming markets started off when Jamie was a junior financial adviser at AMP where he cut his teeth on client experience and bsuiness metrics, from there he joined Investstone Wealth Management in 1999, Australia’s first fee-for-service financial advice firm, where he guided the business to substantial growth within a few short years. More recently, Jamie stepped away from the financial advice industry and immersed himself into corporate life. His first foray was as an owner and Managing Director of the Centre for Education (CIE) - the leading provider of education and thought leadership conferences to the global pension fund industry. After successfully doubling the size of CIE, the business was sold to listed research company, Euromoney. Jamie then moved on to lead the purchase and subsequent transformation of his parents’ sultana and raisin farms in Mildura into the largest vertically integrated dried fruit business in the world, where he oversaw revenue growth from $100,000 to $70m and eventual listing on the ASX. Jamie’s strength as a business transformer is that he is highly opinionated, passionate, experienced, and - after running several substantial business - knows how to assess businesses for investment and success. His proven experience in building communities provides access to the three core pools of capital in the market being advisor networks, institutional investors and pension fund industries. Jamie maintains a strong interest in publishing, media and in connecting business to markets, and therefore has partnered with Drew Meredith and Sheridan Lee as co-directors of Shed Connect in late 2019. Together they have separately launched The Inside Network.
