Bio
Justin Mellett
Julian was a client of Grant Thornton when he was the CFO at GM New Zealand. At the time there was a multitude of open items both operationally, HR, and financial accounting related. I can recall how systematically Julian approached his role, and his ability to isolate what were the priorities and get onto them! At the same time he was not afraid to deliver change (even if it may not have been popular at the time).
Sean Bricknell
I had the privilege of working with Julian for two years when we were both based in Shanghai, myself as Regional Logistics Director and Julian as regional CFO for Purchasing and Supply Chain. Julian was an incredibly strong and valued team player. He used his deep knowledge of the business to challenge us and to work together to achieve fantastic savings. Julian has an ability to stay calm and stand fast in the worst of storms and is constantly challenging himself and his team to find innovative solutions to beat our targets. I am proud of what we achieved together and immensely enjoyed working with Julian.
