“We brought in a full-time coach early on…and created a culture playbook about what not to do.”

This episode, we’re joined by Frank Fisseler co-founder and CEO of Sequana, a national consultancy delivering strategic advisory and infrastructure solutions across Australia’s water, energy, and environmental sectors.

A lawyer by training with deep experience in venture capital and major government projects, Frank shares how he’s helped Sequana grow from 2 people to nearly 200 – all while keeping culture and purpose at the heart of the journey.

In this episode, Frank shares:
• Building a team culture rooted in purpose and congruency
• Why complementary co-founders can be a business’s greatest strength
• Creating a cultural playbook (and why it’s as important as a business plan)
• Health, mindset, and leadership longevity
