Mick joined the Australian Federal Police Force (AFP) in Canberra and rose through the ranks to be appointed Commissioner in 2000; the first AFP member to achieve this milestone promotion. In this position, Mick filled several integral roles, including serving as the inaugural Chairperson of the Australian Crime Commission (now the Australian Crime & Intelligence Commission). He was also the Chair of the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering, a regional organisation of the Financial Action Task Force based in France, an initiative of the G7 group of nations.

He was honored for his professional achievements by the Governments of Indonesia, Singapore and Timor Leste. He was knighted by the former King of Thailand. He was also awarded the Order of Australia for his work in securing regional law enforcement cooperation.

Since leaving the AFP in 2009, Mick has spearheaded major government reviews and inquiries, leading to monumental organizational changes. His most recent reviews included one of security in the Australian Defense Force following terror attacks in Europe in 2016 and one of agency responses to NSW bushfires.

A graduate of the FBI National Academy, Mick has a Master’s degree in Public Policy and Administration and a Graduate Certificate in Criminal Justice Education from the University of Virginia USA and is an Adjunct Professor at Charles Sturt University. He is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Management In 2013 and 2014, Mick served as a part-time Commissioner of the Queensland Crime & Corruption Commission. In August 2018, the Australian Government with bipartisan support appointed Mick as the inaugural Northern Basin Commissioner under the Murray Darling Basin Plan.

In addition, Mick has held and continues to hold positions on several government and private sector advisory boards. Mick chaired and later served on an Expert Advisory Panel to the Prime Minister of Australia from March 2017 to June 2018. He is currently a Director on the Board of 2nd Shot, a non-profit enterprise seeking to reduce homelessness and help unemployed youth in Brisbane. He also serves as a member of the Advisory Panels for Accenture Homeland Security, SAAB Defence Systems, the Department of Home Affairs and Certis Cisco based in Singapore.

“I am delighted to welcome Mick to Elsight. His rich background in federal and public safety sectors in Australia and various Asian countries is crucial to promoting Elsight’s unique technology in our region. His joining the team comes at the right time when we are strengthening our activity in Asian markets, especially in Australia, Singapore and other significant economies in the region.
