of Australia’s leading hospitality providers, Michelle Loader moved

into the outsourcing space and became CEO of AHS Hospitality,

a business that provides outsourced housekeeping services to the

accommodation industry. During her tenure, Michelle led a

Chandler Macleod Group (CMG), thus becoming, as she says, “part of the

Chandler Macleod family.”

Michelle explains that her first year as CEO of one of Australasia’s leading HR

“We saw it as a chance to analyse our operations and improve.

Michelle Loader, CEO of Chandler Macleod Group,

is embracing a new management approach to help

individuals unleash their potential.
