To round off each issue, we ask our contributing business leaders for their views on the same question: “Who or what do you look up to for inspiration?”
Israel Lozano, Executive Managing Director, Navantia Australia
“Our people inspire me. There is a purpose to everything we do, which is to create a piece of sovereignty for Australia and serve the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Knowing that behind our people are the men and women who serve to protect us is inspiring and helps us keep striving to be the best we can be. I feel honoured to share the same efforts, responsibilities, and commitments with all our employees.”
Massimo Delia, General Manager, Well-Safe Solutions Pty Ltd
“Being a marathon runner myself, Eliud Kipchoge is one of my sources of inspiration. He is humble, extremely hard-working, always smiling, capable of appreciating every moment, and has tungsten-grade mental strength.
“He’s also a team worker and cognisant of the fact that, without his support team, he wouldn’t have become one of the greatest runners of all time. He preaches that no human is limited, and that through sacrifices, determination, and self-belief, everyone can reach any goal they set themselves.”
Simon Fraser, CEO, Palau National Communications Corporation
“Without a doubt, our customers are my greatest source of inspiration. Every day, their resilience, creativity, and unwavering commitment to their communities motivates us to strive for excellence. Their feedback and needs drive our innovation and continuous improvement, pushing us to provide the best possible services.
“Their diverse stories and experiences remind us of the critical role we play in connecting people, businesses, and communities across Palau. They inspire us to go beyond just being a service provider; they challenge us to be a partner in their journey towards a more connected and prosperous future.”
David Wilkinson, Executive General Manager – Aviation and Maritime Services, Trident Services Australia
“I don’t have a choice; I have to say Perry Dollar!”
