Mal Davies started his career as an industrial chemist having graduated in applied science from Queensland University of Technology. In an eighteen year initial career with Castlemaine Perkins Limited he moved through the ranks eventually working in every functional area. Mal's final position with Castlemaine was General - Manager Commercial.  Mal left Castlemaine in 1987 to become the founding CEO and Managing Director of the Power Brewing Company Limited. Mal's task included the full breadth of duties necessary to build a brewery and develop a beer brand. He adopted a strategic management approach with a small team. A world class brewery was built quickly for a fraction of the industry benchmark cost. At the same time an exceptional brand, Power's Bitter, was developed and successfully image positioned in the market place. Power's five years sales objectives, as laid down in the initial strategic plan, were met in two years. During the same period the Company was successfully floated on the Australian Stock Exchange.

Having successfully completed the Powers start up in 1989 Mal established Learning-At-Work a management consulting firm specialising in the implementation of strategic management and organisational learning. In the seven years since then he has built a large client base and assisted a wide range of organisations. Work is concentrated in four main areas: 1) Senior executive, director and top team coaching; 2) Contract CEO assignments; 3) Organisation strategy and effectiveness improvement; 4) Senior manager and director development (leading edge leadership programs conducted for both public and private organisations). Mal is widely regarded as an effective action strategist, management educator, process facilitator, consultant problem solver and senior management coach and counsellor with hands on as well as theoretical expertise. He has broad credibility with senior managers and management teams.  Building on that base, Mal has proven uniquely effective at developing and or coaching improvements in performance and bottom line results in private and public organisation senior managers, senior management teams, and boards of directors.

Mal holds tertiary qualifications in science (B.App.Sc.), industrial engineering (C.Op.Man.), psychology (B.A., and B Psych (Hons)), business  and senior leadership effectiveness (MBA, B Psych (Hons), PhD). He is a regular speaker at conferences, has co-authored a successful text on business communication, and has taught Business Strategy, Marketing and Business Communication at post graduate level. He is a Fellow of the Australian Marketing Institute, Member of the American Academy of Management, International Affiliate of the Society for Industrial and Organsiational Psychology, a Registered Organisational Psychologist (# 990647) and a Justice of the Peace in Queensland.
