Leadership Unveiled: A Conversation with Alfred Slogrove, the CEO Extraordinaire

Alfred is passionate about the Gold Coast and helping people the World over. His  philosophy of working hard and having a can-do attitude have seen him work with the best in Australia and the World. All of this yet as down-to-earth as they come.

We discuss, helping deliver tens of thousands of meals to students in need during COVID, building a payment gateway that generated in excess of $10 million in a few years, breaking his leg racing Speedway in the UK, learning who you can really trust, and most importantly the love for your people, particularly family.

He can say it all better than I can write it, so have a listen.

From Alfred's LinkedIn Profile:

As the CEO of KnG Education and KnG Healthcare, I lead a diverse and dynamic team of 250 staff across five offices in Australia and India, offering a broad range of solutions not limited to the healthcare sector. With over 25 years of industry leadership and a passion for Queensland, I have achieved multiple state and national awards for my vision and innovation in education and healthcare. 

I joined KnG in January 2023, after four successful years as the CEO of Study Gold Coast, where I advocated strongly for the sector and grew the organisation globally. I have extensive experience in strategy development, advocacy, corporate communications, government, stakeholder and media relations, and marketing. I also serve on the board of Destination Gold Coast and the City Hart Task Force, leveraging my strong global relationships and community engagement. My mission is to provide high-quality and accessible education and healthcare solutions that empower and transform lives.
