Recruitment
“Luke is our recruiter, who we frequently work with when we have a "we can't muck this hire up" position to fill. Luke has already successfully found us our Head of HR, CFO, and Head of External Affairs.”
James Fitsioris, CEO easykind
Executive Coaching
Working with Luke has been a game-changer for our organisation. He brings a rare combination of strategic thinking, structure, empathy, and commercial clarity that has helped us navigate some of the most complex people, culture, and governance challenges we’ve faced.
Luke guided us through redundancy processes with care, fairness, and compliance. His support on Fair Work and WorkCover matters has been practical, steady, and gave us confidence through the process
.
He also strengthened the way we lead through his Emerging Leaders Program and helped align the organisation by shaping our vision, purpose, and values.
At board and governance level, Luke led our remuneration review, supported structural changes, and improved clarity in decision-making.
He has coached our executive team, senior leaders, and managers both individually and collectively. The impact has been obvious: clearer expectations, stronger communication, and more confident decision-making at every level.
On a personal note, Luke has been a trusted mentor and sounding board for me as CEO. His ability to cut through complexity, offer perspective, and challenge thinking, while still backing you, made me a stronger and more effective leader.
Luke isn’t just a consultant; he becomes part of the team, brings out the best in people, and leaves a lasting capability uplift. I couldn’t recommend him and XLP more highly.

Leadership Development Program
“Thank you again running what was an incredible Leadership Development Program.
Whilst I have been involved in development programs throughout my career, this is by far the most valuable. The presentation of content and pace of the program enabled me to grasp, apply and test concepts in daily life which I’ve enjoyed.
I find myself constantly revisiting learnt content, and I’m happy to say that your course hasn’t just benefited my work life, but my personal life as a husband and father. It’s empowering, so I personally thank you for that. I listened to a very different group today compared to Week 1 of LDP so you should be very proud of that.
Thank you again mate, this has been a very important experience in my career.”

CPO Mentor
Luke has provided invaluable support, insight, and strategic guidance. I learnt from his expertise across complex remuneration and incentive matters, leadership development, organisational change, performance management and broader people strategy. His advice was always commercially pragmatic, clear and grounded in deep executive experience.
Key contributions included designing and delivering a tailored leadership program, supporting executive and board engagement, and helping shape our employee equity and incentive frameworks.
Luke brings exceptional executive leadership capability. He has a great ability to operate flexibly at both a strategic and operational level and he builds trust quickly with leaders at all levels with his honest and friendly approach.
Luke has been an amazing mentor as I progressed into an executive leadership role. He supported and challenged me in a way that strengthened my own abilities and confidence, while always allowing me to remain accountable for decision making. His willingness to share experience, perspectives, and his own wider networks has been so important to my development.
I would highly recommend Luke to any organisation seeking high quality HR support from someone with genuine executive leadership experience and the ability to add immediate value to your team.
