Ric Mejias is an Action-oriented leader with decades of experience creating positive solutions and outcomes by being willingable.
CREDO
WILLING & ABLE = “WILLINGABLE”
I choose to be willingable — to find solutions, take action, keep learning and help others. I don’t focus on whether the glass is half full or half empty. I see the bottle, the tap, the dam and the rain clouds that fill it. I focus on outcomes and the solutions that achieve them — recognising that without action, neither matters.
I am a married 55yo father of 3 daughters born in Spain as Ricardo Gonzalez-Mejias and emigrated to Australia in 1971 where my aussie name is Ric Mejias.
I’ve been willingable for over 40 years, consistently delivering outcomes across construction, property, tourism, aviation and finance.
I started my own small business whilst still at school installing car security, audio and locking systems and became a company director at 18 and bought my first home at 18 whilst also contributing to infrastructure projects with the Commonwealth RAAF, NSW Police, NSW State Rail and leading corporate organisations.
In 1996 I was very fortunate to spent time on the job with specialist enforcement agencies across much of USA, Spain, & Geneva and I have held high security clearances in Australia and overseas and continue to maintain National Security checks for some of my roles and qualifications.
My personal life, family, volunteer service, action orientiation, and integrity shape how I live, lead, work and contribute. I have been fortunate to work with individuals and high level agencies for over 40 years personal endeavours thru to my 3 core professional sectors:
