About

I’m Nigel Slater, a professional business and operations leader with 30+ years of experience spanning global mining technology and heavy machinery, defense and emergency services, audio-visual, government, and telecommunications. I’m known for aligning strategy to execution—owning planning, delivery, risk, training, quality, and financial outcomes—while maintaining an “outside-in” commercial mindset focused on customers and long-term value.

Across senior leadership roles, I’ve built and coached teams, developed GTM and market strategies, managed major tenders, projects and OEM opportunities, and strengthened channel and partnership ecosystems across APAC and beyond. In my recent work, I’ve led APAC business development with oversight of multi-year contracts, large sales pipelines, and new product introductions such as AI/ML SaaS for asset maintenance in rail, while also driving global sales support and digital/Connect initiatives through partnerships and direct go-to-market execution.
