Adrian (he/they) is proudly queer and is the General Manager of Brand & Business Development, supporting Minus18 brand, marketing and partnerships. Joining the team as a volunteer in 2017, he has since worked across the brand and partnership functions to see our campaigns grow and deepen meaningful and strategic partnerships across Australia.

Some of the highlights include helping to coordinate projects such as Queer Ideas Festival, Queer Out Here and Escape Velocity, which focused on elevating LGBTQIA+ youth voices, connecting queer young people in regional & rural communities and empowering trans & gender diverse young people, respectively.

Working with our long-term partners is a passion of Adrian's, with the likes of Converse, Bonds and lululemon to name a few, as year-on year-contributors to our mission to improve the lives of LGBTQIA+ young people.

In 2019, Adrian was nominated for a LGBTIQ GLOBE Award for excellence in Media, and received a 2020 GLOBE nomination for Outstanding Advocacy - Campaign, for his work on Escape Velocity. Later that year, Adrian was named as one of Out for Australia's 30 Under 30. In 2024, Adrian took part in the American Express Leadership Academy in Sydney, with 75 not-for-profit leaders from across the APAC region.
