Professor Veena Sahajwalla, Director of Sustainable Materials Research & Technology (SMaRT) Centre, University of NSW, Australia, 

Stuart has been working with me at UNSW on designing and delivering strategic communications, generating excellent media coverage for our innovative microfactory technology. He has built a plan for us and develops the narrative in new ways to ensure we are building our profile and engaging with the right stakeholders. 

Juliana Roadley, Senior Marketing Manager CBA

I have no hesitancy in writing a recommendation for Stuart. I worked with Stuart, and the team he ran at CBA, for over 3 years. Stuart has a strong understanding of the communications and public relations industry. This enabled my team and the CommSec leadership team to deliver solid and timely information to the correct audience at the right time. I never had to worry about following up with Stuart on the delivery of our media content and he was always proactively liaisoning with organisation and the public to obtain the best results for us.

Since the beginning of our collaboration I know him as an energetic and goal-oriented person, with good planning skills and an interest in the work we were delivering.  An example of the great work Stuart completed for our team was doubling readership and media interactions of our quarterly CommSec State of the State’s report. Stuart helped build a solid radio profile by setting up audio pre-records for the report. This enabled us to have greater time on the morning of our release for ad-hoc crosses while still growing our regional and State audiences. When we had a member for the Queensland Government questioning the data behind the report Stuart worked to resolve the issues.  

Stephen Woodley, CEO Group of 100, Non-Executive Director

Stuart is a first class corporate affairs operator. When he was at APRA he not only raised the profile of this important financial regulator, he steered it successfully through several difficult issues. I enjoyed collaborating with him when I was at ASIC and appreciated his wise counsel. 

Michelle Stephenson, Senior Director of Marketing at CrowdStrike, Business Owner (former General Manager Marketing at CBA)

Stuart and I worked together on both projects and strategy and working together was always magic. Stuart has high integrity, is a man of his word and has an ability to uncover great ideas and insights that I had not seen before .

Philippa Ellis, Executive and Consultant, Non-Executive Director

Stuart is insightful and a strong communicator. At TAL he developed and successfully implemented a holistic, proactive approach to corporate communications, media relations, public relations and content. His efforts generated leading share of voice for the TAL brand in a competitive sector as TAL grew from No 5 to No 1 in the Australian life insurance market. 

Vivek Vaidyanathan, Director Product Management, Amazon/Prime (formerly worked at AVCAL [now called Australian Investment Council])

At a time when the both private equity and venture capital industries were under intense negative scrutiny, Stuart helped to advance the profile and reputation of AVCAL with some clever proactive and reactive planning in relation to media and other stakeholders including Government and industry. He also launched the group's social media presence and was instrumental in the revamping of a new website. I collaborated with Stuart on a number of projects and found his input and knowledge invaluable. 

Matthew Gibbs, former General Manager, Media and Communications, ASX 

There are fewer more savvy financial services corporate affairs professionals than Stuart Snell. And even fewer more engaging people with which to have a coffee, sandwich or to talk 'shop'. Stuart offers insights drawn from fruitful years in both the private and public sectors. He can innovate, regulate but never prevaricate. Decisive and informed, Stuart keeps his mind open and delivers good counsel. And good company. 

Andrew Nicholls, CEO IPART NSW, former Executive Director, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service

I worked with Stuart over several years when he was head of communications for a high profile Government agency. Stuart is a consummate communications professional. He has an exceptional understanding of the media and is adept at issues management and corporate communications.
