Andy Gowers: From Premiership Glory to Boardroom Brilliance

From premiership glory to boardroom leadership, Andy Gowers has built a career defined by performance, culture, and purpose.   A 1991 Hawthorn premiership player who went on to play 140 AFL games across Hawthorn and Brisbane, Andy has transitioned from elite athlete to high-performance advisor and President of the Hawthorn Football Club. Now leading the club through one of its most transformative eras, including the development of the Kennedy Community Centre, he shares what it takes to guide organisations through change while protecting culture.   Drawing on experience from football, business, and succession advisory through Vest Advisory, Andy unpacks the principles of accountability, systems thinking, and purpose-driven leadership that translate from the field to the boardroom. High performance, he explains, is never accidental — it’s built deliberately.   🎧 Listen to the full episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube.   🎙 Hosted by @katesave | Powered by @befitfoodaustralia @purposeproductions.co   #HighPerformance #Leadership #AFLLeadership
