Shane Tanner spent 20 years (1980 – 2000) at Mayne Nickless Limited (MNL) (an ASX Top 30 Company with 45,000 employees) where he served as Global CFO between 1994-1998 and then as the inaugural CEO of Mayne Nickless Diagnostics in 1999 and 2000 (later to be known as Symbion Health).

During his time at MNL, Shane was a driving force in the IPO of Optus Communications. Post MNL, Shane has worked in approximately 20 different businesses where he has worked closely with senior management on organic growth initiatives, mergers & acquisitions and then the ultimate sale by way of either a trade sale or an IPO.

He is currently working with a number of similar companies to EWS where technology is driving global growth. In addition to this, Shane is currently Chair of Paragon Care Limited – an ASX listed company he co-founded in 2008 that operates as a major distributor of high-tech medical equipment throughout Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.
