Working on Kaurna Land
Driven by a passion for social justice, Brugh has worked with many forms of government, NGOs, and businesses to help them reimagine their role in supporting better lives for the people and communities they are accountable to. Having worked as a professional innovation consultant for over 20 years, he has deep experience in the development of public policy, services, products, brands and communications, in over 20 countries.
At TACSI, Brugh leads the Consulting team, ensuring the right people are on the right work, and working within conditions that support the greatest impact for the people, communities and partners we work with. He also leads the Future of Home, an initiative focused on creating a future where all Australians can live and age well in a place they choose to call home. Key influences shaping his practice include systems, empowerment and trauma-informed perspectives.
For him, the most rewarding part of his role is the opportunity to lean into and work through complexity, in ways that support growth and transformation alongside people, communities and systems. A natural collaborator, Brugh appreciates any opportunity to bring together diverse perspectives to see each other's challenges, work through tensions and re-group around reimagined futures.
Brugh spends his downtime with his family and loves spending time in nature.
