Ari Magalhaes - NED | Economist Strategic Clarity in Complex Environments

I help organisations make decisions they can be proud of by aligning strategy, finance and risk in moments that matter.

As a Non-Executive Director and economist, I bring structured thinking, oversight and system-wide clarity to complex, high-trust sectors, including health, aged care, energy and government services. I’ve helped executive teams and boards unlock $110M+ in measurable outcomes across 18 industries, while chairing governance in reform-heavy environments.
