Melanie Gowland

Prior to establishing a coaching career, Melanie held senior positions in Project & Structured Finance, and Institutional Banking, as well as managing a significant portfolio in the health sector, for over 20 years.  During this time, she developed strong corporate relationships which led to the funding of some major government PPP projects within Australia.

Melanie spent a considerable part of her career as a management consultant with developing companies, where she provided financing advice for government trading enterprises and strategies for major government assets. Her banking expertise exposed her to range of sectors including resources, construction, manufacturing, technology, and telecommunications companies, and across all areas of financing techniques.

As a coach and group facilitator, Melanie also undertakes executive leadership development for PHQ clients and has worked with a range of organisations and leadership teams in Australia, from tier one banks and law firms and top 100 ASX and not for profit organisations as well as small to mid-tier / growing firms. 

This, combined with her commercial and people leadership and development experience enables her to assist executives in optimising their career and leadership goals to become high performance leaders in their chosen field.
