Jesse Moors

Jesse Moors - BA (2012), MIntBus (2014)

Candidate Statement

Throughout my professional journey, I have sought out challenges that not only aid my development, but also have the opportunity to add value to my colleagues, stakeholders and employer. Whether I was guiding stakeholders in the emerging markets of Papua New Guinea, Fiji and Timor Leste, or positioning and driving Spatium Capital’s differentiated offering in a mature marketplace, inclusion of people’s contributions and considerations are crucial to build buy-in and overall success of the project or task.

I believe with this blend of skills and experiences, my contribution to the Alumni Council will be realised through my efforts to be inclusive and strategic in all endeavours. Further, a willingness to ‘get my hands dirty’ is an everyday occurrence as a self-employed firm owner, so I very much look forward to assisting in raising the Faculty’s profile in both Australia and abroad.

The University of Melbourne, including the Graduate House, have been phenomenal networks and support structures to myself and co-founder Nick as we embarked on launching Spatium Capital. Joining the Alumni Council will be an opportunity to both return the favour by supporting Council initiatives, and also a chance to be available to other alumni looking to explore their own ventures.
