Alex Feher

Alex started his career as an Industrial Engineering Consultant for large manufacturing organisations given responsibility for re-organising work teams, factory layouts and implementing manufacturing planning and control systems. This gave him first hand experience at implementing systems change across different interest groups within organisations including management, shop floor workers and their unions.

Using this experience he co-founded Synergy Conventions, a manufacturing conference, training and education company that produced Australia’s leading events on advanced manufacturing technology.

Synergy launched initiatives across many industries including IT. Its IT division was acquired in 1996 by the Japanese owned US company Softbank Expos which was later merged with the global IT media giant Ziff-Davis.

Alex then became Managing Director of Ziff-Davis in Australia followed by MD for Asia-Pacific of Key3Media, a Ziff-Davis spin-off. Under Alex, ZD launched many of its global brands into Australia including ZDNet, COMDEX and NetWorld+Interop.

His executive coaching expertise is supported by a solid practical grounding in running businesses, managing teams and working in Australia for NYSE listed global companies.

He has a B.Sc Mech Eng and an M.Sc Ind Eng and a member of the International Coach Federation.
