The aim of TCF is to substantially change the lives of as many people as possible with special emphasis on targeting the poorest of the poor. TCF is one of the largest private charities in Australia, focused on developing countries and is active in East and Central Africa and parts of Asia.
Steve is the founder of the Global Peace Index, a new tool for measuring peacefulness of countries and identifying the drivers of peace. Developed in conjunction with the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Global Peace Index has sparked a debate in the media, academia and governments from all parts of the world. The Global Peace Index is now considered a benchmark for measuring the peacefulness of nations.
His latest initiative the Institute for Economics and Peace, specializes on the linkages between business, peace and economics.
Steve has sat on private and public company boards as well as industry government advisory boards including AIIA, IIBAB, NICTA and the CSIRO.
