CARL SANDERS-EDWARDS

Carl started his career with Toyota and Fisher & Paykel before spending almost five years as a top performer with Accenture. At Accenture he lead teams that developed software, business process and strategy solutions. Moving to the UK, he developed the management systems that enabled start-up RightMove.co.uk to grow from no revenue to a US billion dollar IPO within three years. Inspired by e-commerce, on returning to New Zealand Carl co-founded, grew and sold New Zealand’s largest online gift store (at the time); Browniepoints.co.nz.

During this period and driven by a passion to help companies improve, he also founded a boutique strategy consulting firm Real Consulting. Real Consulting has assisted over 50 companies and teams define their identity, develop strategies, coach leaders and deliver projects that improve performance. Through these engagements Carl recognised a common theme – successful organisations need people continually improving how they work. A particularly influential engagement created a learning and development strategy for a trillion dollar company in the Middle East who wanted to grow CEO’s to run their portfolio companies.

Unsatisfied with the existing learning and development offerings Carl founded JumpShift to compliment Real Consulting’s offerings. JumpShift developed a unique methodology drawing on the best of management and people development theory. JumpShift is achieving impressive results for its clients and is the preferred leadership development supplier for the world’s largest
dairy processing company.

In 2010, Carl was awarded the Platinum-Triangle Fulbright Scholarship in Entrepreneurship, and has recently completed an MBA at Babson College. Carl graduated valedictorian, with the top grade point average in his class and received the school’s Management Division award and Sorenson Scholarships for distinguished performance and service to the school. He is currently a partner at Real Consulting, Managing Director of JumpShift and was awarded the 2011 Distinguished Young Alumni award from his undergraduate university.

Between work and study, Carl does all he can to be in salt water – fishing it, surfing it or diving in it.
