HOBART, TASMANIA
Harvey Lennon
Executive coach. People-centred leader.
Experienced CEO across Tasmania's business and not-for-profit sectors. Now focused on mentoring, executive coaching, and supporting leaders and organisations in a more flexible way.
MY NEXT CHAPTER
"…after many rewarding years in leadership roles across Tasmania's business and community sectors, I'm now entering an exciting new chapter — one with a little more time for the outdoors, family, friends, and the things that inspire me most."
The Roles
"I've been incredibly fortunate to work alongside outstanding people throughout my career, particularly during my time as CEO of RACT and more recently as CEO of Hobart City Mission and Chair of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra."
The philosophy
"Leadership has always been about people for me — encouraging growth, building trust, creating opportunity and helping others thrive."
What's next
"While I'm stepping away from ongoing executive roles, I continue to enjoy mentoring and executive coaching, and I look forward to supporting leaders and organisations in a more flexible way when opportunities arise."
Outside of work
"I'm embracing more time to pursue my passion for Tasmania's great outdoors and all the adventures that come with it."
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Worked alongside, not just for...
My new chapter
The best leaders know when to step back
"After decades in the chair, I've learned that leadership isn't about having the loudest voice. It's about creating space for others to find theirs."
The roles
"From the boardroom to the community table, every role taught me that people come first."
The philosophy
"I believe trust is built in the quiet moments, not the grand speeches."
"Harvey, thank you so much for your kindness and compassion. You have made such a positive impact, and you always have. You are an incredible person and one of the best leaders I have known and had the opportunity to work with."
"Thank you, you’ve transformed programs, boosted the culture and brought the organisation together. You have led by example, demonstrating what exceptional leadership, genuine compassion, understanding, kindness, humility, patience and a fabulous sense of humour can achieve."
"The most humble CEO I have ever met. Kind, thoughtful, engaging, caring and, to top it all off, funny!"
"Thank you for guiding us through some difficult years. The post-COVID uncertainty and funding challenges could have easily shaken the organisation. But your steadiness, empathy and willingness to face hard problems head on made a huge difference."
