Our Team

11eight was founded on a simple premise: the best advice for businesses comes from people who've actually run them. Our principals Ron Arnold, Aidan Pallister and Anthony Justice are former C-suite executives with careers spanning Australia, the United Kingdom and across Asia. Between us, we've led strategy, transformation, distribution, product and operations at some of the region's most significant insurers and financial services businesses.

We are not a large firm. We employ no juniors. We do not outsource our thinking. When you engage 11eight you work directly with us, from the initial brief to the final recommendation - that's not a limitation, it's the point.

Aidan brings over 30 years of financial services experience across Australia and key Asian markets, including China, India, Thailand and Malaysia. His executive and board roles have spanned strategy, operations, risk, corporate governance and M&A. He has a clear understanding of the drivers of performance and a proven record of leading successful business transformation.

After many years operating at the most senior levels in large corporates, and having held virtually every senior executive role, Ron founded 11eight. Through 11eight he pursues his passion for practical strategy, corporate innovation, and helping established businesses and start-ups collaborate effectively.

Anthony has spent over 20 years leading financial services businesses across banking, wealth and insurance, including CEO roles at IAG’s Consumer Division and the fintech Uno Home Loans. He has extensive experience leading large people-based organisations through complex change, while harnessing organisational energy to deliver exceptional outcomes. With a focus on stronger consumer propositions, digital experiences and the commercial demands of P&L management, Anthony understands the power of strong partnerships to create sustainable value.
