Finance & Commerce Andrew Pondekas
Andrew has enjoyed an exceptional career both as a senior financial executive and a commercial advisor to corporations with complex value propositions. He has held senior roles in the corporate sector with organisations such as Brambles, Qantas and QBE Insurance, and of late has used his experience to benefit a range of businesses in the SME arena.
His advice and counsel is in constant demand when assessing job specifications and required skills, and he is an integral part of eXenet’s operational, strategic, and financial planning.
General Management / Manufacturing / Lean & Six SigmaIan Chew
Ian has a notable and successful background of achievement in senior management. Prior to joining eXenet he was relocated from the UK to assume responsibility for the Australian operations of David Brown, an internationally recognised global leader in industrial gearing solutions and services. In addition to the generic skills of a senior executive, Ian has acquired high levels of accreditation in Lean and Six Sigma that provide him with excellent credentials as a business strategist and Process Improvement professional. All of these experiences combine to create an exceptionally valuable set of tools with which eXenet can add significant value to the needs of our clients.

Kevin has enjoyed a 30 year career in the establishment and operation of successful Logistics and Human Resource businesses and eXenet is his most recent endeavour. eXenet is a company created to provide and benefit from the skills of experienced senior executives from a wide range of industry, commerce and corporate exposure.

Something that translates to an identifiable competitive advantage for our valued clientele.
Norm completed an exceptional executive career in 1999 when he retired from a successful term on the Management Board of Qantas Airways where he played a major role in the restructuring of the company’s supply chain processes following "privatisation" in 1995. Prior to his Qantas engagement Norm spent 24 years in Brambles Industries where he served as an Executive Director with responsibilities for businesses in Australia and Europe. He is a skilled corporate leader and strategist. As a Director of eXenet his primary objective is to establish a business that will allow senior executives to "put back" into business what they have learned during their careers. His guidance and mentoring is an invaluable tool in eXenet’s interpretation of both client and candidate requirements.
