SMG Leadership
Michael Chant
Chief Executive Officer
MBA, B. Bus, Dip CS
Michael has been the CEO of SMG since early 2019.
He has many years’ experience as CEO, with past employment in various Non-profit sector organisations, including radio, Bible college, Scripture translation and distribution, as well as direct sales and international trade.
Michael is married to Bronwyn and they have three adult sons, who have all been encouraged to “follow their dreams”. He was raised in South Australia, but as an adult has lived and worked both interstate and overseas. However, he still believes that Adelaide is truly the best place to live.
Michael is passionate about doing business well, and seeing people develop to their full potential. He enjoys making a positive difference in the lives of our youth through the excellent services of SMG (even though most days are spent at his desk!)
