Vashti Silver
Tony is a pleasure to work with and fantastic on a number of levels. He has created a culture of trust and inclusiveness, as well as an environment where staff and students feel comfortable in approaching him for advice or guidance. His passion for education, professional development and support of innovation has enabled the team to deliver award winning programs to our students. His ability to manage the organisational partnerships is admirable, as is his expertise in identifying new business opportunities. His unfailing energy to execute projects has resulted in several successful business ventures. His approach with staff and students is always friendly and professional, and he is quick to build a positive rapport with industry visitors and clients, who often comment on his hospitable manner. Tony is a great mentor and I consider myself very fortunate to have him as a boss!
