Two Lenses, One Focus: From Lived Experience to Corporate Life
This time, Navigating Disability sit with a leader whose life and work are woven from both profound professional expertise and deeply personal experience.
Meet Jeramy, he steers the ship as CEO of a Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Alliance, lends his voice as a member of the Disability Council of NSW, and serves as a dedicated Non-Executive Director, all in pursuit of a more inclusive world for people with disabilities.
For over a quarter of a century, Jeramy has navigated the disability sector, blending a heart for not-for-profit work with a sharp business mind.
But what truly shapes Jeramy's mission is the story he carries with him. A workplace injury once led to a permanent neurological condition, gifting him a lived experience of disability that informs his every decision.
He is a proud father of four, and his passion is further kindled by walking alongside his daughter, who lives with autism, hypermobility spectrum disorder, chronic pain, and psychosocial disabilities.
Throughout his career, Jeramy has been a catalyst for change—driving sector-wide reforms, managing complex organizational transformations, and advocating fiercely, both for systemic change and for the rights of each individual.
