ABOUT OLLY
The science of performance.
The experience of being human.
A career connecting elite sport, health and the everyday realities of leadership.
SPEAKER · COACH · BUSINESS LEADER
A practical bridge between
intention and action.
Olly started his career working with elite athletes in F1 and Olympic Gymnastics. He went on to lead large teams in major corporates, including BMW and Medibank, and became COO of a joint ASX/NASDAQ-listed health technology company.
He has also built, scaled and run startups through to successful exits. That experience means he understands performance as a leader responsible for people and a business, as well as a sports scientist working with elite athletes.
His sessions combine research, stories and practical ideas, with the warmth and humour that make a room feel part of the conversation.

LEADERSHIP LIVED FIRST-HAND
The people behind
the performance.
Leading a large corporate team, growing a startup and supporting an elite athlete involve different pressures. Across each, Olly has seen how people’s health, energy, relationships and everyday habits shape what they can sustain.
As founder of Build a Bridge, Olly helps people build a bridge from intent to action. His sessions turn the science into practical choices, so the next step feels clear and achievable. He is also Co-Principal of Essentio Health.
THE THREAD THROUGH IT ALL
Performance depends
on the person.
The demands of work and life are real. Olly helps people understand their own foundations for performance, then build habits that fit the lives they lead.
Olly is business savvy and outcome-focused, is deeply passionate about helping others, has extensive knowledge about corporate health and, above all else, is one of the most engaging, warm and genuine people you will ever work with.
Olly’s emphasis on prioritising personal health as a cornerstone of effective leadership resonated deeply with all of us. His practical advice and real-world examples equipped us with the tools to cultivate a healthier, more productive, and fulfilling leadership journey.
WARMTH. HUMOUR. HUMAN CONNECTION.
Good work can still
feel like being yourself.
An engaging session makes room for curiosity, honest reflection and a laugh along the way. Olly’s approach is to make the science accessible and the next step feel possible.
