EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM

Roger has spent the last thirty-five years in a variety of senior positions after starting his career at Price Waterhouse & Co. He has also operated a management and financial consultancy for the last twenty years, with board appointments at various clients’ companies and NFP organisations.

Roger has a diverse background in business having worked with organisations of all sizes in industries including distribution, textiles, chemicals, property development and professional services. Having led finance, administration and commercial departments in his various executive roles, Roger also has extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, procurement and contractor management, and managing inbound and outbound logistics. These skills have helped Roger steer businesses through recessions and rapidly changing markets whilst consistently achieving growth targets, and manage numerous business mergers, expansions, acquisitions and sales.

He brings these same passions and skills to TransVolution, guiding the team to grow and develop the business as Australia’s most innovative, efficient and customer-focused rail transport operator.

Aaron had an interest in technology from a very young age, founding a technology solutions and service provider after a short time as an I.T. manager for small-to-medium enterprises. With a passion for innovation he branched out into strategy consulting, initially focusing on technology and subsequently moving into management and financial consulting. After working with a variety of organisations including superannuation funds, manufacturers and not-for-profits, Aaron found his calling after a consulting assignment with a logistics business. His new-found enthusiasm for transport and passion for innovation was the nexus for TransVolution: a “transport revolution” began.

Aaron brings to the business his dedication to inspiring change, enabling growth and automating processes with technology. He has developed effective working relationships with government departments, network managers, stevedores and other supply chain stakeholders and is able to navigate favourable outcomes through the various interests of the participants involved.

Aaron is committed to realising our vision of a “transport and logistics industry that fully realises the benefits of all modes of transport”.
