Deputy General Manager, King Island Council
I had the pleasure of working closely with Ferzad Bharucha during his tenure at Hexagon Safety when I was the CEO of the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional professional and leader. His expertise in safety solutions, customer experience and his dedication to excellence made him a standout in his field. He totally transformed the Asia Pacific business from where it was to a customer focused, excellence based on customer experience and leadership organisation.
Ferzad consistently demonstrates outstanding leadership qualities, managing his team with a perfect blend of empathy and decisiveness. He fostered a collaborative and inclusive work environment, always encouraging his and the customers team members to share their ideas and insights. His ability to navigate complex challenges and find innovative solutions was truly impressive and was beneficial to the organisation I was leading as a customer of Hexagon Safety.
Under Ferzad's leadership, our projects were not only completed but often exceeded our quality expectations. His attention to detail and commitment to safety standards ensured that we delivered superior results for our end users. Ferzad's strategic vision and proactive approach have been instrumental in driving growth and success for Hexagon Safety in the Asia Pacific Region.
Moreover, Ferzad is an excellent communicator who builds strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels. His ability to articulate complex concepts clearly and persuasively has been invaluable in securing key partnerships and driving business development.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ferzad Bharucha for any leadership role. His exceptional skills, dedication, and positive attitude make him an asset to any organisation. Hexagon Safety were fortunate to have him, and I am confident that he will continue to achieve great things in the future.

I had the privilege of working for Ferzad during my time at Brightstar and I can confidently say he is the best leader I have worked for. Ferzad is a natural mentor - someone who genuinely invests in people, helping them grow both professionally and personally. He sets a high bar, leads by example, and empowers those around him to rise to the challenge.
Ferzad has a natural winning mentality, “plays to win” and brings an energy that drives success. Anyone who gets the opportunity to work with Ferzad will quickly see why he is so highly respected. He doesn’t just build great teams - he builds winning cultures. I’m grateful for his mentorship and leadership, and I have no doubt he will continue to achieve great things.

I worked with Ferzad for approximately 3 years while he lead the APAC region for Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure and Geospatial division. While I reported into US Legal, Ferzad and I were in almost daily contact on customer contracting matters. Ferzad delicately balanced the needs of stakeholders (customers, staff, US management and others). He was never afraid to get his hands dirty and lead by example. He held the region to a high standard on gave staff many development and growth opportunities. At the senior leadership level (Ferzad, myself and other APAC department heads) there was a sense of team spirit.

Executive Director - Hexagon APAC
It was great working with Ferzad at Hexagon SIG. His leadership style is being involved just enough to make sure he is in touch and up to date with everything but also leaving enough space for people to execute by themselves. A great balance. Ferzad gives excellent guidance to people, He enjoys grooming new talent and he spends time on coaching and shaping the team to what is required for the business. Setting clear goals and open communication are key for him. His style of working motivates people, he leads by example.
