​​​​"I began working with Shane Fracchia when I was providing M&A & business consulting services to Brown Consulting (later to become Calibre Consulting) where Shane was the CFO/COO. Shane was leading Brown/Calibre Consulting’s corporate services team consisting of finance, HR, marketing, IT, and M&A. In my M&A consulting role I liaised with Shane on merger due diligence investigations and integrations across all of these corporate functions as well as participating with Shane in corporate strategy development. Shane at all times showed great leadership and direction of the corporate team and it was very evident to me that he enjoyed significant respect not only from the corporate services team but also from the operational business managers and the MD. Shane always took a calm and considered approach regardless of what business pressures may have been applied at the time. I was consistently impressed with his ability to rise above the detailed operational matters and consider the big picture issues and facilitate a discussion of ideas and opportunities particularly when it came to strategy and organisational governance. I keep in contact with Shane regularly and appreciate our ongoing interactions and business discussions. I would be more than happy to act as a referee."

​​​“Shane was Independent Non-Executive Chairman of our firm at a critical time in its growth, where specialist strategic support, guidance and practical governance was needed to minimise growing pains and maximise our opportunities. Shane assisted the board and management team develop its vision and the strategic plan to achieve it; as well as designing a scalable and effective corporate structure to support it. This included the facilitation, analysis and design of back office processes, performance reporting and a new shareholder deed to better attract senior leaders and incentivise talented new shareholders to grow the firm and become its future. We have also worked successfully with Shane and his team on many large-scale innovative award-winning master planned projects for Bluechip innovative clients in the health and aged care sector.

"Fracchia Advisory worked as consultants providing a review on the management of a major church run Age Care, Retirement Living and Community Care business with which I had a significant involvement.  Gary & Shane bring significant experience to consultancy projects, assisting with identifying issues relevant to the successful operation of a complex and geographically dispersed business. Drawing upon their broad skill base and teamwork our organisation was presented with a comprehensive advice document which was carefully considered and was of immediate assistance.  I would strongly endorse Gary & Shane’s team approach, knowledge and experience in the Aged Care, Retirement Living and community Care industry.”

“Shane Fracchia is an exceptional leader and business executive. He is one of the few people I've met who possesses the rare skill of high levels of emotional intelligence, combined with strong, logical, and structured thinking. A rarer quality still, is his ability to listen - really listen. Shane focuses on your business challenge or need. Large or small - every engagement is customised. His advice is always honest, direct, informed and empowering. Shane is someone who engages with key stakeholders to bring life to or help define corporate goals. Shane can develop structure around business plans or company vision, and set the framework to ensure accountability and understanding.  I had the pleasure of working with Shane on a range of projects including developing brand strategies, marketing plans as well as the integration of acquired businesses for both listed and private infrastructure businesses. I would have no hesitation in recommending Shane Fracchia for any senior-level executive engagement.”
