ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

SANDY HALPIN

STRATEGIC | IDEATION | FUTURISTIC | COMPETITION | ACHIEVER

Let’s be real.

Business as usual? Not my thing.

I’ve spent my career shaking up the status quo, challenging the norms, and helping businesses play to their potential.

As the CEO and Founder of Capital Idea, I don’t believe in just keeping things running - I’m here to provoke change. For over three decades, I’ve worked with some of the world’s biggest brands like Disney, PwC, and Qantas, driving growth, building kick-ass teams, and transforming businesses from the inside out.

You’ll find me at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and disruption. My secret sauce? I see what others miss. I’m all about shifting businesses from ‘good enough’ to extraordinary by leveraging their strengths, unlocking potential, identifying opportunity, and pushing beyond what they thought possible.

A former CPA (yes, I’ve managed $15 billion portfolios and no, I don’t miss it), I now focus on future thinking and strengths-based performance coaching. I’m obsessed with what could be, and I love working with business owners, CEOs, leaders and their teams who are ready to think bigger, be bolder, and make things happen.

If you’re looking for a cookie-cutter coach or someone to nod and agree, I’m probably not your person. But if you’re ready for someone in your corner who will challenge everything you thought you knew and push you to build something remarkable, we should talk.
