Graham joined DesignStreet in April 2005 following a 4-year contract as the MD of Audi Australia, where he laid the foundation and turnaround strategy for what has since become the fastest growing luxury brand in Australia.

Prior to that he was Sales and Marketing Director of Volkswagen and Audi South Africa, where he led the company into the number one position in the passenger car market, a position it still holds today.

As a member of the 200-strong International Volkswagen Management Group, and after a highly successful 25-year career, the decision to move to ‘the other side of the desk’ was driven by the wish to stay in Australia, and to learn new skills and grow within an entrepreneurial business environment.

Graham’s contribution is varied, ranging from high level strategy development for multinational firms, through to copywriting in specialist fields such as finance and investment property, through to new business development, and to the general management of the business.

A staple contribution in any discussion is the use of free-flowing analogies that have the team in stitches, as well as the obligatory supply of ‘Dad’ jokes. Graham loves the creative environment that sees a brief become a brainstorm become a concept become a communication piece that then drives business for clients big and small. He is a perfectionist, sets high standards, and has great expectations for the future. He rates our excellent repertoire of work, great clients, and outstanding team, as our greatest assets.

Graham would be the Manager of the DesignStreet band.
