Shared Pu
Loom Consulting works with boards and executive teams to explore partnerships, shared services, mergers, and operating model change without rushing toward a predetermined answer.
Too many good organisations are failing alone.
The sector is under unprecedented pressure. Doing nothing is no longer a sustainable strategy.
Financial Stress
Running deficits, eating into reserves, and struggling to maintain service levels under funding pressures.
Mission Duplication
Competing for the same philanthropic dollars and government grants as three other identical organisations.
Stalled Scale
Brilliant models of care that cannot expand because back-office overheads consume all available capital.

Words from board members, executives, and leaders who have navigated complex challenges alongside Alex.
I had the privilege of working directly under Alex Green for five years during his time as CEO of Arthritis NSW (now The Arthritis Movement). Together, through his leadership, we navigated a period of remarkable transformation... Alex is a visionary leader who drives innovation, empowers his team, and brings people along with him through change.
I would highly recommend Alex for his exceptional leadership at The Arthritis Movement. His mentorship has been instrumental in my professional growth... His strategic foresight in identifying collaboration opportunities... ultimately led to a successful merger to form The Arthritis Movement in 2025.
Alex was instrumental in navigating The Arthritis Movement through what was likely to be one of Australia's largest for purpose mergers of 2025. As joint CEO and steering two boards, staff, stakeholders, and advisers, Alex expertly managed a smooth and thorough merger process... Alex is a strong recommendation from me regarding your for purpose merger needs.
I worked with Alex as part of the Senior Leadership Team at Outward Bound for about 2 1/2 years. Alex is a values led and very approachable leader who builds strong bonds with people throughout the entire organisation. He is a quick thinker with bold visions, paired with an unwavering solutions focused approach to any situation.
Alex and I worked together at Outward Bound during the period when the organisation was hit by bushfires and COVID 19. It's safe to say there are few leaders whose values and integrity run deeper than Alex. He is driven by the mission of the organisation, but also his own deep seated sense of compassion, equity, courage and determination.

Through a time when smoke, bushfire and then Covid-19 were primary and real concerns, Alex was able to provide the management team with a sense of direction, and a path through each... I'm sure that Alex's skills and experience will continue to see him and others excel through other challenges.
Alex made strong connections with Sir David Martin Foundation’s Chairman and Board, supporters, partners and stakeholders. As a people manager he supported, encouraged and strengthened the team. As a fundraiser he was bold and strategic and saw good results accordingly. He has a solid moral compass and always treats everyone with respect.
When it comes to being a successful snr leader we often think of accomplishments , of which Alex has had many... However what really sets Alex apart as a leader, especially in the not for profit sector, are his values and integrity. Time and time again I’ve been humbled by his natural ability to put people first and to judge what’s most important in any given situation.
I have worked very closely with Alex at Outward Bound Australia as a board member. He has demonstrated immense courage and resilience as CEO to navigate through immense challenges including devastating bushfires and COVID-19. He has great integrity, ingenuity, focus, and care... He invests his full person in his work and quickly earned and kept the trust of his board.
I have known and worked with Alex since his time as fundraising manager at Guide Dogs NSW/ACT and more recently at Sir David Martin Foundation. Alex is a rare gem in the NFP sector who is deeply committed to his work and passionate about the causes he supports. In particular, he brings a keen sense of commerciality and discipline.

A Message from Alex
Why navigating a merger is the boldest move you can make.
"Alex brought calm authority to what could have been a highly emotional board decision."
— Arthritis Movement
20 years of sector leadership.
I am a Sydney-based consultant who has spent two decades in the for-purpose sector. I’ve served as a CEO, a board president, and I have personally led organisations through the complex reality of merging.
I know what it feels like to sit in the boardroom weighing mission against money. I founded Loom Consulting because the sector needs a guide who understands the emotional weight of these decisions, not just the legal mechanics.
