About Tomy Oonnoonny

Tomy Oonnoonny has excellent cross-cultural skills, having spent a lifetime bridging cultures (growing up in Bahrain but with strong ties to his South Indian heritage, moving to the UK and then Australia, working in front-line roles in multicultural Sydney, coaching offshore teams, and more recently getting involved in First Nations initiatives at Telstra).

Tomy believes that we, as humans, do not buy “stuff.” We do not make decisions based on features and benefits. We make decisions based on emotion, “gut feel” and brand promise. We buy when we are moved. We buy when we are captivated and engaged to the point that we drop whatever it is we are doing and say, “Oh, yes. Let me look that up quickly online”

And so he teaches people how to create that reaction. He coaches people to understand their worth and not limit it just to the products that they are trying to push. Tomy also brings his 15+ years of sales pizazz into the coaching role and has a unique talent for engaging and motivating people.

Tomy considers himself a lifelong learner and recently learned to ride a bike at the age of 39 to keep up with his son!
