About.

Hi, I’m Craig Calder, founder of ThinkClear Group, a Sydney-based leadership development, research and consulting practice.

My work is laser focused on helping leaders build highly collaborative and productive teams that drive growth.

Before launching ThinkClear Group in 2012, I was a consulting partner at EY and after that did a stint as the Chief Risk Officer for diversified property group Stockland.

I’ve got over 25 years experience, have lived and worked in Australia, Europe, and North America, and led teams of consultants, property developers, and project professionals through more than 150 complex challenges.

I’ve seen and experienced spectacular failures, where hubris overpowered reason. And I’ve worked with the most talented leaders and professionals who have overcome insanely tough odds to create something extraordinary.

Along the way, I learned something powerful that shapes my focus each day:

The most valuable work we do, the kind that creates extraordinary results, starts with the courage to spot important and difficult problems and take responsibility for solving them.

This belief has shaped my journey from consultant to business owner, artist, and now author of Problem Hunter.

Outside of work I’m a passionate artist, snow skier, wellness enthusiast, philosophy student and life long learner. I’ m also a father to two teenage kids who do a great job of reminding me to slow down and live life one day at a time.
