// EXPERT PROFILE //

THIRTY YEARS AND THREE BUSINESSES LATER , I ’ M STILL IN THE GAME , ROLLING WITH IT AND LOOKING FORWARD TO TACKLING WHATEVER CHALLENGE COMES NEXT .
Dion Williams , CEO , Servicely
There ’ s a growing focus on automating as many of those mundane routine tasks as possible , so employees can be freed up to focus on the complex and challenging activities that enable them to feel more fulfilled at work .
How do you deal with stress and unwind outside the office ?
Living in Manly , Sydney , we ’ re not too far from the beach or the bush which is fortunate because I really enjoy the outdoors . I ’ m learning to surf – it ’ s proving way more difficult than I anticipated – and most weekends I ’ m out on the mountain bike .
A group of friends and I get together for an afternoon to do a lap of Manly Dam , followed by an ice-cold beer – it ’ s the perfect antidote to stress . Family also keeps me busy : I have a 17-year-old daughter who ’ s hard at it completing her HSC and a 27-year-old son living just down the road .
If you could go back and change one career decision , what would it be ?
That ’ s hard to answer because I ’ m a big believer in not having regrets . In common with every other human being , I ’ ve made my share
