As we edge closer to YP Gold Coast’s 2024 City Leaders Forum, presented by Morgans Gold Coast, it’s time to introduce our fourth panellist for this year’s event—Bob East.
Bob is a dynamo in leadership and strategy, with an impressive resumé that includes his role as Chair of Experience Co (ASX: EXP), Australian Venue Co (ASX: AVC), Leisure Accommodation Collective (ASX: LAC), Cettire Limited (ASX: CTT), and the Gold Coast SUNS AFL team.
In case that wasn’t enough, he also has a background of top-tier executive experience across hospitality, tourism, and private equity as well as being the former Chair of Tourism Australia.
Bob’s most notable achievement? Transforming Mantra Group into Australia’s largest accommodation provider, before leading the company to a $1.3 billion sale to Accor. Talk about knowing how to scale and deliver results!
From the boardrooms of global private equity firms to steering national tourism and event organisations, Bob brings an extraordinary wealth of knowledge and insight into Future Proofing the Gold Coast—our theme for this year’s forum.
He’s seen it all and done it all, and now, he’s ready to share his experiences with us.
Get ready to hear Bob’s thoughts on leading through transformation, harnessing opportunity, and navigating change in some of the most competitive sectors out there.
