Synopsis "Large as Life: It's a Long way to the top if you Want to Keep Your Soul!"
Andrew Moon enjoyed a successful career as a Manager, General Manager, Managing Director and CEO of many varied and interesting companies in a wide range of countries and situations. From start-ups to liquidations, his career took him from Sydney, Australia, where he grew up and was educated, to: Melbourne, Australia; London, U.K., Jakarta, Indonesia; Hong Kong; Sydney, Australia, again; Dayton, Ohio, USA; and back to Melbourne, Australia. His travels took him to most countries in Asia; North and South America; many European countries and Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific nations. During that career, he had dealings with every level of business from sole operators to Ministers of State and all those in between, as he rose to the level of Manager of an autonomous operation at the age of 21 and to become a Chief Executive at the age of 29. In all, he spent nearly 3 decades "at the top". Along that journey, Andrew suffered a variety of health and financial setbacks and has, as a result, learned a vast amount about life, people, management and leadership (and the difference between them!) and about himself. This memoir recounts some of these stories, the people whom he met and the lessons that he learned along his life's rich and twisting path. Andrew retired from corporate life after the removal of a benign brain tumour and lives, with his wife, Liz, in the beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland in Queensland, Australia.
