Gideon was appointed CEO of NECA Education & Careers in June 2022; previously he was the Chief Commercial Officer for Kangan Institute and Bendigo TAFE.

Gideon spent much of his early career in banking, leading large sales, service and marketing teams at both ANZ and NAB in Melbourne. Plus, he consulted to a number of banks, including Standard Chartered Bank and Thai Danu Bank in Asia, as a management consultant with PA Consulting Group. Moving into roles leading business units in private health insurance with Medibank, and then in energy retailing with Energy Australia, Gideon refined his strategy and business leadership skills in highly competitive and highly regulated markets.

After joining the executive team at one of Victoria’s most successful TAFE institutes in 2018, Gideon discovered a passion for vocational education and training. He brings this passion into NECA Education & Careers while leveraging all of the skills and experience gained from a diverse and successful corporate leadership career.

Gideon’s why is because what NECA Education & Careers does is unarguably good for people.
