Graeme Gherashe

Graeme Gherashe and Tony Grybowski announced a new partnership to strengthen the capacity and power of the Arts, Culture and NFP sectors in Australia and around the world in 2018. Since that time they have collaborated on a range of projects as outlined earlier.

We help individuals and organisations achieve clear strategies and develop a compelling narrative and “language” that supports renewal and reimagining. We develop capacity, capability and confidence, both personally and with organisational cultures. Our partnership is nimble and flexible and brings powerful solutions, ideas, and tools to individuals, teams, organizations and communities. We create teams of experts and specialists (from our networks across Australia and the world) who share their passions and bring further expertise for projects of any scale. Our combined 60+ years of line, executive and board membership comes together in a partnership based on wanting to make a difference. We have a shared passion and understanding that arts, culture and the role that the not for profit sector play in our society are fundamental and critical to a successful future.
