Working closely with suppliers and stakeholders around the world, he is responsible for ensuring Blueleaf’s supply chain remains resilient, agile and responsive to the needs of its customers.

Having been part of Blueleaf’s journey for many years, Nathan has played a key role in leading and navigating significant periods of growth and transformation.

Beyond Blueleaf, he has supported other businesses through their own growth journeys, helping leadership teams navigate change and unlock new opportunities.

Nathan is passionate about the entrepreneurial side of business – creating opportunities where none previously existed through vision, innovation and a balanced approach to risk and reward. He is a strong advocate for putting customers first, believing that the needs of clients should be the guiding principle behind business decisions, investment and strategy. He also places great value on building trusted partnerships, recognising that strong supplier relationships are fundamental to delivering reliability, service excellence and sustainable growth.

Nathan says:

"Creating growth is about seeing opportunities others don’t, having the courage to pursue them and remaining focused on delivering value for customers. When you combine long-term partnerships with a customer-first mindset, you create businesses that can adapt, grow and succeed."
