About Tony Burke

Tony Burke provides coaching, mentoring and mediation services through Yirabana Consulting, leveraging his deep and broad commercial background to help clients achieve their goals, enhance their skills and find an effective path through commercial disputes.

Tony’s career trademark has been his ability to translate sophisticated business strategy, market knowledge, and industry insight into commercial growth and expansion roadmaps. His brand management and advocacy plans have delivered substantial policy and legislative objectives in intensely complex and challenging environments.

With over 30 years of leadership experience, Tony has excelled both as an effective business executive and as the transformation catalyst for the development and advocacy of policy with Commonwealth, State and foreign governments, statutory bodies, and media representatives.

In his role with the Australian Bankers’ Association, Tony built a reputation nationally as a successful and experienced leader, with highly developed media relations and tactical planning skills, able to transform industry advocacy objectives into operational success by utilising strong leadership, persuasive communication, and high-order program management.

An expert in strategic planning and the co-ordination of geographically dispersed teams, Tony has readily shown the ability to leverage his experience to facilitate complex communication, legislative, policy, and public relations outcomes.

Tony has operated in a range of senior roles with multinational companies operating in the IT, logistics, banking, and B2B markets, as well as the peak body for actuaries in Australia. In all these appointments, Tony’s greatest achievement was his unwavering ability to seamlessly lead through change, evolution, innovation, and action.

Tony has honours degrees in the humanities, and has completed a Masters in Coaching Psychology as well as the College of Law’s Nationally Accredited Mediator Training Program (and a National Mediation Assessment). He is also a Graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Tony is married, with three children, and lives in Sydney.”
