About BRAD KITSCHKE:
I am a corporate affairs, public policy, and regulatory affairs professional with more than 20 years of experience in successfully managing the complex public policy and corporate affairs challenges in highly regulated industries. I have experience in strategic roles in regulated markets, high-profile economic or political issues, technology and innovation, start-ups and disruptors, and industries responsible for significant technological developments and economic change.
Experience
Ex Uber, Vodafone, Beam Mobility, Government and NFP - Corporate Affairs, Public Policy, Government Relations and Strategy, Communications - A leader with a track record of success in new and emerging technology and issues-rich roles at the forefront of public debate and interest.
I use my background in politics, government, the corporate sector, and not-for-profits to deliver measurable results. I have held senior roles and delivered results for organisations whose growth and commercial success hinged on specific public policy outcomes and the distillation of complex technical issues into a straightforward and broadly accepted narrative as part of communication, media, and engagement strategy.
I have successfully led strategic functions for industry associations, major corporations and government, contributing to commercial, policy and political success by being a valued strategic counsel and through effective policy development, regulatory and political strategy, strategic engagement and communications.
I have a track record of excelling while managing some of Australia’s most complex public policy and communications challenges. I deal with ambiguity, growth, change, and crisis with a strategic approach that enables successful execution regardless of pace, risk, volume or the profile of the issues or environment. I can bring new and different approaches to problem-solving and strategies that deliver measurable outcomes.
I have a history of taking on new and challenging roles in diverse and unique content areas that require me to be a quick study and become proficient quickly while applying my skills and experience. I have built and led multi-jurisdictional teams of up to 50 FTE and am experienced in highly regulated sectors in Australia, New Zealand, the broader APAC region, Europe, and North America.
I have acted as a trusted advisor to governments and C-suite, an external consultant, and a Company Director. I have led two national member-based industry associations in the financial services and technology sector and the retail industry. I have worked at the highest levels of Government as a Ministerial advisor to Cabinet Ministers.
