He grew up in small country towns and was a surprised and delighted, some years later, to be living and working all over the world as Chief Creative chief for J Walter Thompson. Craig helped global companies like Toyota, HSBC, Proctor& Gamble, Coca Cola, Sony, Vodafone, PayPal, Virgin and Unilever, and win a shed-load of international awards. But this success came at a high price physically and emotionally and he decided to change direction to explore more ‘conscious’ ways of living and working.

Craig is a passionate believer in creating satisfying and sustainable business success and does his best to practice what he teaches. He is Co-Founder and CMO of digital disrupter Sendle, a technology startup taking on Australia Post by making parcel delivery simple, reliable and affordable for small and medium-sized businesses, Sendle has made the AFR’s list of Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Australia two years in a row, is Australia’s first certified technology B Crop, Australia’s first 100% carbon neutral delivery service, and a Telstra Business Award winner.

In his spare time, he hangs out with friends and family (wife and three teens), sails, surfs, rides, reads, blogs, meditates and does yoga, and he’s still the fastest Australian to run a marathon at the North Pole.

Besides the stuff, Craig is Adjunct Professor at the University of Technology Sydney’s Business School, a guest lecturer at UNSW, and a keynote speaker represented exclusively by Saxton.
