Jamie Getgood – International Keynote Speaker & CEO for People Avenue
Awarded Australian Leader of the Year at the Australian Excellence Awards, Jamie Getgood travels the globe as an International Keynote Speaker to share his People-focused approaches that have transformed the many organizations he has worked in. With General Motors Holden closing its manufacturing operations in Australia, he took on the leadership of the closure of the Automotive industry, oscillating the focus around culture, people leadership, change management, and employee engagement principles. Through his approach, he & his team transformed GM Holden from a bottom-quartile performer to one of the best General Motors quality plants in the world during the last 8 months of its existence.
Shortly after the successful Holden Closure and Transition program, Jamie established Getgood Consulting, which quickly grew to be a highly sought-after HR service provider supporting companies across Australia and Asia/Pacific.
Jamie is now the CEO for People Avenue. People Avenue is an offshore marketing, sales and recruitment accelerator agency driving innovation and revenue growth for its clients globally.
