Nick Thorpe
I co-founded and ran an entrepreneurial software business in Melbourne for 8 years, creating business software products for the commercial market.
I then went on to lead in multiple roles across a 15 year period across three countries with the International Consultancy Thoughtworks, where I was a Principal Consultant. I also served on the leadership team for Thoughtworks Australia in the role of Head of Talent.
I am known for the effectiveness of my empathetic but no-bullshit approach.
Some of my specialities:
Untangling Software Delivery
Transforming for Large-scale software delivery (dozens of teams)
Feedback and Communication training
C-level facilitation and mentoring
Coaching and training on soft skills
Organisational design for collaboration and growth
Product Management and delivery at scale
People tell me I'm a bit of a team whisperer.
I have advised CEOs of companies worth more than $1.1 Billion AUD.
I have had a creative working partnership on key projects with Fiona McDonald for 30 years, collaborating to create extraordinary results together.
I have an unfeasible moustache and I am a keen, spectacularly unsuccessful fisherman who ensures the safety of fishes wherever I cast a line.

I have a talent for successful collaboration with experts and teams, understanding their challenges and designing learning approaches that ‘stick’ and provide measurable value.
