I’m Travis Bates, a highly accomplished professional with a diverse range of skills and experiences that make me an invaluable asset to the board at Business Victor Harbor. As the Community Engagement Manager at nbn Co, I bring a wealth of expertise gained through a decade of working with renowned organisations such as Rio Tinto, Yancoal, the Queensland Government and my own successful manufacturing business on the Eyre Peninsula.
With a unique blend of hands-on experience in running my own business and working in government and corporate roles, I possess a keen understanding of the challenges faced by businesses across various sectors. This holistic perspective allows me to bring innovative and practical solutions to any challenge, while also ensuring their relevance and applicability in real-world scenarios.
I hold a Science degree with Honours specialising in Sustainable Energy Management, a testament to my commitment to addressing pressing environmental issues and driving sustainable business practices. Additionally, my post-graduate training in Business Administration equips me with the analytical skills necessary to assess complex information, extract meaningful insights, and transform them into actionable strategies that generate tangible value for businesses.
My diverse background has instilled a deep appreciation for the power of collaboration and community engagement in driving positive change. I recognise the importance of fostering strong relationships between businesses, stakeholders, and the local community for sustainable growth and prosperity.
