How I work
Diagnose or deliver — either, or both
From independent assurance reviews to picking up direct accountability for delivery, restructuring a stalled program from the inside.
3–6 month engagements
Scoped to a defined outcome, with clear governance and reporting cadence from week one.
Board and Minister-ready reporting
Comfortable reporting at the highest level, in plain language, under scrutiny.
Beyond the corporate world
Affy sits on the boards of several not-for-profit organisations, including as a Board Director of the Salaam Foundation, which he helped co-found the Perth chapter of — supporting scholarships for refugees and celebrating the contributions of Australians to society. He previously served on the WA Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Interests' Multicultural Advisory Committee.
