Melbourne, Australia

Hi, I'm Sam.

I'm a young professional whose career so far has gone from scooping gelato, to co-authoring three textbooks, to consulting, to helping ASX-listed companies build real relationships with their investors at InvestorHub.

These days I work in sales and capital markets — booking record months, helping land our largest biotech deal to date, and hosting dinners that bring listed-company leaders around the same table.

The work

The short version: I like steep learning curves. The long version is below — an honest tour through everything from investor relations to industrial warehouses.

Apr — Sep 2025

CBRE

Senior Analyst — Sales & Leasing, Industrial & Logistics

Worked on institutional-grade assets with clients like Stockland, Dexus, and ESR in Melbourne's West — Australia's largest industrial market. Cash flow analyses, market intelligence, and development submissions. I learnt quickly that it wasn't the path for my twenties, but inspecting some genuinely massive warehouses was a highlight.

Mar 2023 — Apr 2025

Klein Market Research (formerly TKP)

Associate, then Project Assistant before that

Classic consulting work in the best way: I designed and ran quantitative and qualitative research from start to finish, managing my own clients in a small team.

  • Quarterly Customer Experience Index for Victoria's public transport network
  • Brand health & advertising tracking for a leading mattress retailer
  • Market sizing (TAM / SAM / SOM) and Van Westendorp pricing for a tool manufacturer
  • Recruited and managed hundreds of mystery shoppers

Mar — Dec 2023

Coles Group

Assistant Location Planner (part-time)

Managed the property intelligence database behind Coles' national store network plan, analysed customer travel patterns, and taught myself SQL along the way.

2019 — 2023

Edrolo

Textbook Author & Content Team

Co-authored three VCE textbooks and recorded thousands of hours of video solutions for Victorian students. My first taste of start-up pace, and a job I absolutely loved — it felt like genuinely making a difference to education in Victoria.

2021 — 2023

Internships: KPMG, Deloitte & BDO

Consulting & business restructuring

Operations advisory at KPMG, operations transformation at Deloitte, and forensic-style asset tracing at BDO (part detective work, part organising boxes of receipts — a classic intern rite of passage).

2016 — 2021

Where it all started

Kryolan Professional Make-up & Trampoline Gelato

Warehouse orders, payroll, trade shows — and before that, my first and still favourite job: scooping ice cream. As my old boss said, people coming for gelato are always in a good mood. He was right.

Beyond the desk

The part of my job I'd do even if it weren't my job: bringing the right people into the same room.

ASX Listed Leaders dinners

I own our executive dinner series — curating guest lists by mapping shared connections and industries, seating a deliberate "connector" at every table, and running role-specific formats like CEO-only dinners.

Listed Ladies

Co-hosting a community for women across ASX-listed companies and capital markets — because the best conversations happen when the room is built with intention.

Community drinks

Casual Melbourne meet-ups for the listed-company community. Less agenda, more introductions that stick.

Let's talk

Whether it's about a role, a dinner seat, or the best gelato in Melbourne — my inbox is open.
