Claire Bateman
MBA.Human Resources Management
After nearly two decades living and working in the Goldfields, Claire brings a rare blend of strategic insight, operational know-how, and calm, clear thinking. She understands the nuance of regional business and how to turn constraint into clarity.
Claire is known for her unflinching logic, sharp organisational mind, and practical execution. A self-confessed governance nerd with a creative streak, she believes that structure and design go hand-in-hand - if something looks good, it often works better. But beneath her straight-talking style lies genuine empathy and care. Claire listens carefully, respects every voice in the room, and always considers the human impact alongside the business imperatives.
Her experience spans human resources, strategy, and organisational development, strengthened by nearly a decade as CEO of a multi-company group in Kalgoorlie. Claire’s approach is grounded in context; she scales seamlessly between micro and macro, and can pivot between solving a systems problem and supporting a founder in crisis without missing a beat.
She has worked across local government, tourism, SMEs, not-for-profits, mining, engineering, and fashion—bringing structure, insight, and visual clarity to every brief.
When organisations need someone who brings structure, clarity, and care, they call Claire because she makes hard things easier, and good ideas real.
