Former Facebook Australia & New Zealand Managing Director — digital transformation and AI strategy.
Stephen Scheeler led Facebook's Australia and New Zealand business through the years it became the dominant force in digital advertising and consumer attention in this part of the world. Before Facebook, he held senior commercial roles across global technology and media companies, giving him a long-form view of how digital businesses scale — and where they tend to break.
Since leaving the platform, Stephen has built an advisory practice focused on AI strategy, digital transformation and the leadership shifts those changes demand. He advises ASX-listed boards and global executive teams on how to move beyond the surface-level adoption of AI tools into the harder work of redesigning workflows, decision-making and operating models around them.
His keynotes are aimed at senior corporate audiences who are past the introductory stage on AI and want a clearer view of strategy, governance and competitive positioning. He's strong at conferences, board strategy days and executive offsites — and is equally comfortable as a panel moderator or fireside interviewer where the agenda is to push the conversation past generic headlines.
