The Innovator That Is Certainly Tony Hakim

Tony Hakim stands out as the patron of an Anti-Depression Association of Australia (ADAA), which I chair. The association will not be plausible if it was not for him. He showed us quite a few strategies to make this work. We are actually considering this association for too long. It truly is a significant project. Both him and I have haven't ever done any kind of non-profit venture before, so this really is substantially new to us.

One thing that's good here is that considering the fact that we are working together, we already acquired that professional relationship. I first met him during the time that we're enrolled in Marist Brothers Pagewood. I knew his sibling and got to know Tony thru him.

Once I got out of school, I have not heard anything from Tony. I was then a consultant at the same time he had gotten a small-scale Telco business.

A previous job of mine was doing work for the Minister for Consumer Affairs, creating the minister's personal replies to enquiries and mails. That period taught me the ability of reading and interpreting an act of parliament.

I was positive that Tony's sector will grow. If only he would take advantage of his billing, he could resell certain Telco support that only Optus and Telsra currently have.

I visited one day to his town, to present him exactly what he may do. My efforts hadn't gone into waste, he just liked the idea of reselling. He went from 16 employees to 48 in six months and more than 200 employees within the year ... Tony then marketed this brand-new firm to Digicall.

I left and went off to start-off a family. And with respect to him, he went back to his venture. Three years after, he phoned me to ask if there is any new venture that we could permeate. I wanted the Telco business to go nationwide and to go public, and take a higher profile.

We integrated a billing platform with a hardware system so customers could possibly save money. Jeff Kennett, Chairman of Beyond Blue, the national Depression initiative became our very first chairman and within 3 yrs. we were without a doubt nationwide with more than 500 staff and contractors. It's a fantastic concept that patrons may make use of their bills to pay for other Telco expenses. People are opting for plan because of its handiness. We additionally work around landlines that's exactly why more people are benefitting from it.

This brings us to today and the ADAA. Tony, for me, is the image of financing and approach. Yet to me he is more a acquaintance. There's this example when I informed him that we might patch the problem in anxiety and depression but it will have a higher expense. He suddenly studied my model and had identified the key option of the service. Then he encouraged me to put it online, even though the straight up charge is higher we only have to pay it once. As soon as it is put together,he said, you can scale it and charge much less, serving and assisting so many more consumers.

Tony aided me to come up with numerous item which is set to launch on March 18. Possibly,they'll help thousands of consumers.

He is a man of few words. As you can tell by now, I am proud to be Tony Hakim's buddy.
