Meet Our Paradigm Shifter-ers

dave MD

When Dave is not implementing 360˚ strategies, he spends his spare time (which he hardly has) providing total solutions. Like totally.

LIN 360˚

We’d be here all day talking about her purpose-led skillset. But first and foremost, she likes to fly progress-driven solutions up the flagpole to make sure they align with every stakeholder.

Helia Design

Helia has merged the space between getting runs on the board, pushing the envelope and being a slam dunk success. We call it “slam dunking the envelope”.

HENRIETTE DESIGN

If Henriette was to time her daily door-to-door commutes it would clock 56 hours. But we looked it up and there are apparently only 24 hours in a day. We don’t know how she does it but suspect she has moved to Australia from her native Norway.

GEMMA Design

The team player’s team player. Known for being able to shift any collab at any moment offline. In her downtime, she likes to take her projects to the next level.

Ellie Design

3 things you can listen to all day: Summer rain hitting a tin roof, the calming crackling of an open fire & Ellie finding the sweet spot as she smashes it out of the ballpark again & again.

SAHAN LAB

When Sahan came in for an interview, he got on the intercom and informed us ‘I’m here to interview ambience”.  He then let himself in, looked around and said “Righto, I accept the position”. It’s the confidence you want.

Heide Barketing Department

When it comes to business, Heide is either always on the ball or asking for you to throw one to her.

BELla Projects

Managing the headwinds of a project can be daunting. But Bella looks at it through a left-field lens, opening up a dialogue.

BrenDAN OPERATIONS

With his ability to be across everything at ambience you’d swear there has to be two of him working here.

JOHN Logistics

You’ve heard of thinking outside the box? Well, John flips that on the paradigm and thinks inside the box – literally. His hobby is making hats from discarded boxes.

JADE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

With a game-changing approach to redefining the new normal, she changes the game with an approach that could only be described as a new normal.

JOSH Purchasing

Josh likes to dabble in Korean but there’s another language he’s fluent in. A language where he holds a PhD, and the world’s leading leaders only have a measly degree. That language?  Success-anese.

VIVIAN PROJECTS

Rumour has it the sun once dimmed itself out of respect when Vivian spec’d an LED feature. When she’s on the project, darkness doesn’t stand a chance — it just politely steps aside.

Stephanie projects

If there’s something that Stephanie likes more than stepping up to the plate – it’s smashing them. It’s not uncommon to see plates fly across the office and Zorba the Greek pumping every time she clocks another call. Quick, duck!

TREVOR LAB

During his interview Trevor said his working dream was to have a unicorn, ‘A tech start-up valued at over 1 Billion?’ we asked. ‘No, the animal’ he responded.

Puti Purrformance Analyst

Likes saying things like “Get that report to me right meow” and is actually always thinking inside the box – his litter box. 

BRenDAN OPERATIONS

With his ability to be across everything at ambience you’d swear there has to be two of him working here.

Louise Finance

Louise likes to get her ducks in a row – ensuring that she has a concrete list. When she is not busy being busy, she can usually be found on her toes.

Samira Design

They say that if opportunity doesn’t knock, then build your own door. But Samira doesn’t build doors, nor is she a member of the Door Building Association – she does lighting and she does it good.

Scott Logistics

A human-centric human who has the bandwidth to go that extra mile. When not working, Scott likes to unload by working more.

Nikita Products

When we think of Nikita, we think of turnkey solutions. NK is a walking talking total turnkey provider. And when she is not providing turnkeys? She’s optimising turnkey strategies.

Somesh Business

Somesh delicately straddles the touch-points of the business ecosystem. When he’s not implementing ecosystems, he likes to tattoo his neighbours outside his garage.

Katherine PURCHASING

The office prankster – when she’s not busy planning her next joke or putting goofy signs up, she can be found letting her hair down by firing off staples at unassuming colleagues.

Sharlene Design

When she’s not dodging curveballs or getting the ball rolling, you can find Shaz keeping her eye on the ball while pushing a whole different ball game.

Ruby Kangaroo

Lives in the paddock next door and stops for none and hops for one. Likes to spend the down time not hopping around, mostly just munching on stuff.

Mark LAB

Whatever is currently in the pipeline, Mark will execute at maximum capacity. At all other times, he’s operating with little-to-no lagging.

Sahil LAB

A square peg in a round hole, or is it the other way around? He doesn’t care – he plays by his own rules.

JAMIE DESIGN

When Jamie sent his CV we called and asked if he sent the wrong document as it was full of lorem ipsum text. He then calmly said “No, dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec convallis”. Yep, he lives, breathes and speaks graphic design.

Ivana Logistics

Adding value to some is just about value that’s added. But for Ivana, it’s more. Much more. She spends most Mondays being widely celebrated.

MELIna international relations

Fancy title, fancy fluency in 3 languages, but when visiting HQ she loves nothing more than taking the forklift for a spin after hours and doing doughnuts in the Coles carpark.

MARIA DESIGN

Let’s cut to the chase, the bottom line is, at the end of the day, going forward, Maria is going to get the ball rolling while staying ahead of the curve. And all this while hitting the ground running.

Winnie Technical

Always looking to navigate the vortex that is known as real-time into a vertical known as unreal-time. Every Monday morning he takes it upon himself to make sure that every cord is plugged in.

ROSHAVI PROJECTS

When there’s an emergency – 000 calls her.

JOsh OFFICE

Josh is all about disruption, disruption and more disruption. He’s even disrupted the 5-day week and only comes in on one day.

REZA LAB

When it comes to streamlining the process Reza never keeps his eggs in one basket. In fact, he only takes them out of the cardboard egg cartons when he’s ready to cook.

diana projects

On her first day Diana declared ‘my office is nice enough, I guess’, when we told her that it was actually the boardroom, she looked us in the eyes and said ‘it was’.

Stephen Comms

For Stephen, it’s all about the optics, prisms, and looking at it through a lens. He used to work at the Cadbury factory.

Cam Logistics/LAB

Failure is not an option. Agile alignment. First and foremost. To many these are just words, but to Cam, they are not just words. They are many words.

JUAN projects

While some focus on touchpoints Juan is busy pushing the boundaries of boundary-pushing. No boundary is safe while this boundary pusher is out there pushing boundaries.

Sparkles dunno

This is the second time at ambo after a years-long hiatus (Another job? Extended holidays? Prison sentence? Who knows, who cares? ) what matters is he’s back and even sparklier than ever.

Sara Design

While many designers are pivoting, Sara redefines redefinition by pivoting upstream. Always fascinated, nothing fascinates her more than things that are fascinating.

HAMAD LAB

It’s all about getting his ducks in a row. But these ducks don’t quack. And they also don’t waddle. That’s because they’re not ducks. They’re linear lighting fixtures.

eduardo PROJECTS

Our intro to Eduardo was simple: ‘Hustle Culture. Innovate or die. We’re not just a company, we’re a movement. Scalable. Let’s capture market share. Roundtable’. His to us was better; ‘Shut up and let me do my job.’

mariana marketing

There have been some big firsts in the lighting industry, the Adaption of Code 34567/67B in 1963 was a doozy and who could forget the spine-tingling amendments 4567H ten years later? Well, now we have ambience‘s first-ever proper marketing person. Sure, it’s not as big but still massive.
