Creating value for clients and their customers
Leigh Risbey - Exec On Call is founded on the practical application of skills, knowledge and experience. I have built my career on tailoring and applying what I learn coupled with practical experiences to create solutions that are relevant and applicable.
Following a hands on trade career I took a conscious decision to enter the world of Administration and Management. I have led large and small, diverse and geographically dispersed teams and experienced the joy and tribulations of growth and contraction of businesses. Having served as a member of the Executive Team of a large business, as Service Director, and a Sales Director, I then decided to change countries and create a strategy and implement product introduction projects to disrupt stagnant markets. The strong desire to remain in Australia, inspired me to join an organisation at its peak and manage the right sizing of an overweight costly operations resulting in some impressive savings and improved safety performance.
Having worked with corporates for a while I took the decision to work with smaller organisations and with great effect put into practice the relevant experiences I have acquired. I continuously develop my knowledge and skills and I am a trained and certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and uniquely qualified to deliver the help businesses need in these trying and changing economic times.

"I have worked with Leigh a number of times over the years. Each time it was something slightly different and his approach was always very custom and aligned with our outcome. I often turn to Leigh when I need to fine tune a skill set like finances and reporting, he has extensive experience in business and is always a wealth of knowledge. He helped me adapt and grow as an Operations Manager. Thank goodness he isn’t an out of the box person, it's what helped us work so well together. His advice and support is outstanding. His ability to work with me to problem solve and get creative about how to tackle things makes everything enjoyable, even when you may not have been enjoying it in the first place. Hats off to Leigh for being able to keep up with the speed of my brain as well, not many can keep up at that pace."
