‘Michael McLeod is the CEO of the Message Stick Group and director of AIMSC, so I was interested to hear why he thinks Indigenous business enterprise and employment go hand in hand’

Guest Editorial:
Michael McLeod, CEO, Message Stick Group
‘I was amazed at how quickly 2009 flew by... and how my business grew!’ says Michael McLeod. ‘Looking back’, he says ‘There were no Indigenous business success stories...’ when he was starting out. ‘There were plenty of Indigenous role models in politics, sport, arts or academia, but not in business.’

‘My role models were my peers – they became a support network to speak to and learn from.’
