about Aaron Dodd

Aaron Dodd graduated as a Biotechnologist/Bio-Process Engineer from Massey University in New Zealand in 1986 and completed his MBA at Deakin University in 2000. His early career was spent with Goodman Fielder in a variety of operational, production management and Quality Assurance roles in New Plymouth and Auckland.

Keen to seek greater challenges and further opportunities, Aaron moved into sales and marketing; first in London with Pitney Bowes, and then in Australia with Oppenheimer and Cuno Filter Systems (now part of the 3M group). He progressed rapidly at Cuno, moving into Senior Australian Sales Management with additional marketing responsibilities into South East Asian markets.

In 1999, Aaron joined Swedish consulting company, Mercuri Urval, in their newly established  Melbourne office. Aaron joined forces with then business partner, Don Holley, and formed Odin Consulting in 2003. The company later rebranded to the Mindset Group in 2008. In 2020, Aaron spun off Mindset's Talent and Technology divisions to form Locum People.

Aaron has extensive professional networks across Australia and New Zealand and has managed and delivered numerous HR and talent acquisition projects in both countries as well as in Hong Kong, Singapore, China, South Africa and Europe. He has worked across a variety of industrial sectors that include automotive, construction, chemical processing, engineering, bio-pharmaceutical, sporting goods, homeware, fresh fruit and produce, processed food, IT, finance and the not-for-profit sector.

As a recognised thought leader in the Australian HR and recruitment industries Aaron is also a sought after speaker and presents at numerous industry events and forums such as the CEO Institute, AHRI, RCSA and the AICD.
