Background
I’m Colin de Grussa, a seasoned leader with over two decades of experience crafting strategy and driving results in business and public policy.
I bring significant experience in leadership, shaping strategy, and driving results across diverse business and policy environments.
Most recently I served two terms in Western Australia's Legislative Council, where I was appointed Shadow Minister for multiple portfolios including Agriculture & Food, Fisheries, Ports, Veterans Issues and Regional Communications.
Building professional relationships is my strength. As a Nuffield Australia Scholar and a Graduate of the AICD Company Directors course, I’ve cultivated extensive networks and excel at engaging diverse stakeholders.
Recognised for my communication skills and work ethic, I bridge technical proficiency with a commitment to meaningful connections, all while balancing a public career with family and community priorities.
