Our People
Terry Kew – CEO and 10X Coach |
Terry has a rich mix of entrepreneurial start-ups and large corporate business, but his passion lies in sharing what he’s learned to exponentially grow SME businesses. His first start-up was in the FMCG / retail sector eventually partnering with a large franchised fitness chain (over 800 retail outlets) across the USA. He also successfully launched a bio-tech distribution business and then partnered to start-up a B2B health and well-being service which was sold to a large OH&S organization.
In pursuing his passion to help business owners grow and improve their businesses, Terry joined the Fitness First team at start-up phase in Australia. Within 5 years he became the Global Operations Director for the Fitness first Group with 540 outlets in 21 countries and revenues in excess of USD1.2B. Each store was operated as a stand-alone SME which was the key success factor in the meteoric rise of the organization. Three years ago Terry was head-hunted to manage a NASDAQ listed company in New York to navigate them through some significant changes, and has since returned home to Sydney.
Terry’s also an accomplished keynote speaker having presented to tens of thousands of people across the four corners of the globe!
He’s participated in various sports: rugby union, track athletics and surf lifesaving, and has competed at both national and international levels. Currently he’s a keen competitor in 24 hour and 48 hour non-stop, adventure racing.
