Tom Quinn
Founding CEO & Director, Future Business Council2011 Melbourne Fellowship
We should embrace our heritage of leadership and help forge a sustainable and just world.
What drives you to create positive change?
Frustration at the status quo is my greatest driver. Overcoming the challenge of tradition while envisaging a sustainable future push me forward every day.
What is your vision?
Australia has a proud legacy of international leadership in the fields of sustainability and equality and my vision is for us to lead in these areas once again. We have the skills and ingenuity to develop solutions to climate change and to find ways to live within the earth's environmental limits. We should embrace our heritage of leadership and help forge a sustainable and just world.
What did CSL help you to achieve?
The Fellowship project work has equipped me with the leadership skills to enable this vision. 'Sustaworks' is changing the discussion by communicating the business benefits of sustainability, while 'Bikespot' is enabling cyclists to report bike network problems and for local governments to fix them.
