A word from our founder.
Russell Fairbanks ⎜Managing Director, Luminary
Luminary has established itself as a respected leadership advisory group to some of Queensland’s most innovative organisations. Managing Director Russell Fairbanks, shares the ethos behind Luminary.
Welcome to Luminary
The world around us is changing at a pace that I don’t think most of us would have seen as possible only a few short years ago. Geopolitically, economically, and socially.
With a changing tide, having the right leadership has never been more important. We go above and beyond to ensure we connect the right leaders with the right organisations at the right time.
We disrupt the traditional recruitment model, blending contemporary research methods, the latest technology, and experienced consulting expertise with an intimate and personalised candidate engagement that offers high-quality, tailored, and targeted service that delivers sustainable results.
Why we do what we do.
More than ever before, it’s time to ensure you have the right leaders with the right capabilities in the right positions so they can directly impact your strategy.
It takes the right people in place to accept, adopt, drive, and sustain the required organisational changes to realise the impact.
Luminary is firmly grounded in the belief that the future of work in Queensland is bright despite the enormous changes afoot.
That's why we’re dedicated to pairing talented, inspiring leaders with future-focused organisations so that together, you shine the way forward for us all.
