(17 Aug 2021)
The International Convention Centre in Sydney (ICC
Sydney) has appointed Luke Fleming as Director of Human Resources.

Luke has been with ICC Sydney since pre-opening in
2016. He previously worked as Senior Manager – Human Resources
Shared Services.


“I am delighted to take up the baton to lead our
award-winning Human Resources department at ICC Sydney, drawing on
my experience within the organisation but also from the events
sector more broadly,” Luke said. “It has been an incredibly challenging year but
ICC Sydney’s industry leading management and prioritisation of its
team members is exceptional. I am looking forward to continuing to
work with our world class team in a leadership capacity, to drive
the highest standards of business excellence as the venue moves
through to the next stage of its recovery in 2021.”

Prior to joining ICC Sydney, Luke was with The
Star Entertainment Group working in Finance and Human Resources, 
Digital Instinct for over 6 years and set up his own consulting
company in 2005.

Luke is a diversity and inclusion trainer,
certified DISC practitioner, trained mental health and first aid
responder and a key member of ICC Sydney’s internal COVID
Taskforce.

ICC Sydney CEO, Geoff Donaghy, said, “Luke has demonstrated that he is highly skilled
at leading top performing, multi-disciplinary teams. His strengths
in strategic business planning, talent acquisition,
employment relations and industrial compliance have earned him a
sound reputation as an effective people leader. We look forward to
seeing Luke continue to develop and maintain key relationships
with stakeholders, to drive exemplary service delivery in the
business events sector while ensuring team member safety, health
and wellbeing remains in focus.”
