Listen Later

Andrew Nunn is Co-Founder, Chairman and Executive Director of JBS&G Australia—one of Australia’s largest privately-owned environmental consulting companies. Andrew also acts as Director for several companies focused on property development, private equity investments, and entertainment opportunities. In partnership with his wife Alexandra Dimos, he founded the Nunn Dimos Foundation, a philanthropic fund focused on supporting key social and arts causes in South Australia.  

Andrew was Appointed in early 2021, as the South Australian Chief Entrepreneur, with the role to provide high-level, independent advice to the South Australian Cabinet and the business community, to enable entrepreneurialism across all forms of business, industry, and the public sector. 

We discussed so many of the intricacies of being a business owner, entrepreneur, and leader, then coupled it with his insights and experiences along the way, and how he grew and scaled his business JBS&G. 

Like everyone else, he went through all the teething problems of growing a business but maintained his position to continually treat people with respect and dignity, which he believes enabled good things to happen. 

Andrew also provided some insight  around:

  • How he built one of Australia's largest privately held environmental consulting companies
  • The one mistake he made in his business growth trajectory
  • The most transformational business decision he made
  • His plans for the Chief Entrepreneur role and why we need to grow South Australia's investable companies
  • The one lesson that's taken him the longest to learn

And plenty more!
