Pierre De Villiers

Founder @ The Talent Exchange / Advisor / Coach

A seasoned Executive with experience across multiple industries, Pierre is consistently recognised as someone who adds significant value to the organisations he has worked with in a career spanning Australia, AsiaPac, the Middle East, Southern Africa, North America and the UK.

An early career as a Chartered Accountant embedded his pragmatic approach to creating and implementing commercially astute solutions to the increasingly complex people challenges faced by organisations, ranging from start-up/scale-up disruptors through to ASX-listed corporates and multinationals.

His 25+ years in professional services and blue-chip national/international corporates has given Pierre a unique depth of experience and exposure to stakeholders at all levels, and is equally adept at working with senior executives as those in customer-facing roles. Known for being a considered, collaborative and results-oriented coach and strategic thinker, his contemporary approach connects business goals to people in a way that delivers tangible real-world results.

Well-known as a champion of change, Pierre is dedicated to supporting leaders to create environments where every team member feels valued and empowered to deliver their very best work in a sustained way. In addition to leading and participating in a variety of industry advisory committees, he has regularly been called on to share his insights on numerous panels and round table deep dives and is available for executive/senior leader coaching, leadership development as well as advisory work and consulting assignments.

When he’s not obsessing over all things leadership and organisational performance, you’ll find him coaching his son’s club sports teams or relaxing while cooking for family and friends.
