Lance Blockley is a Director of Edgar, Dunn & Company, an international consultancy focused on the financial services industry and headquartered in the USA. He has over 25 years experience in senior management and consulting in the UK, USA, Asia and Australia.

He has pioneered use of data to underpin marketing strategy development and market segmentation, and was the creator of the firm’s powerful “Slice & Dice” diagnostic tool. Lance’s forte is working to provide clients with the business impacts they seek, be that in financial services, telecommunications, consumer or industrial products.

Lance has facilitated strategic planning sessions for the management teams and Boards of Directors of many different corporations across Asia-Pacific.

Following assignments assessing market opportunities, Lance became a Non-Executive Director of the New South Wales Grains Board (NSWGB) in 1999. He is credited with identifying inappropriate manipulation of that organisation’s financial accounts by management, leading to the standing down of the previous Managing Director. At the request of his fellow Directors, he took on the role of Interim Managing Director during what was a critical and tumultuous time for the NSWGB. He referred the matter to ICAC in September 2000, and its report of Aug 2003 recommended criminal prosecution of 3 former managers. He negotiated with the NSW Government for an additional 5 years of vesting rights and then negotiated the sale of these rights (and the NSWGB business) to another industry player. Lance has presented on the corporate governance and “whistleblower” issues surrounding the NSWGB case to numerous audiences, including the Annual Convention of the AICD, as it holds significant learnings for Directors and anyone considering such a position.

Lance holds B.A. and M.A. degrees in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University, England and an M.B.A. from IMD, Switzerland. He is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and the UK Chartered Management Institute.
