Success Culture was founded by Ruchi Motial-Suri as a result of a long corporate career leading large change initiatives.

Ruchi has over 30 years’ corporate leadership experience with blue chip organisations in Asia, Australia & UK, specialising in turning around under-performing teams.

Her philosophy in her own words:

“I have spent most of my corporate career rescuing projects – Red to Green! This experience made me realize that while the process is important, people are the most valuable asset; and the ability to bring out the best in them is the difference between success and failure.

My career has evolved from leading complex Business Transformation Programs to Leadership Transformations. I now help Leaders transform their work environments, so their teams feel empowered enough to be self-motivated and self-managed – leading to very high-performing environments.”

Over the last 30 years, Grant has been working, breathing, living, and dreaming hospitality. His experience in the hospitality industry for the last 30 years has been in a management role, managing several Clubs and Hotels from Sydney’s CBD, Northern Beaches, to Sydney Western and South Western Suburbs in the position of Operations Manager, Hotel Licensee, Group Operations Manager, and for the last three years as General Manager of Ryde-Parramatta Golf Club (RPGC).

Grant has also held positions of Chair on the Bankstown Liquor Accord for 8 years (2012-2020), and he is currently the Treasurer of the Eastwood & Gladesville Liquor Accord & NSW Justice of the Peace.

Grant is a single father of two boys, 13 and 15 years old, and his youngest son has Autism (ASD3). From all these experiences, this has equipped him with insights into the challenges and opportunities facing families and businesses today and allowed him to understand the local communities’ needs.

In Grant’s spare time, first and foremost, he loves spending time with his two sons and has taken up golf and enjoys his time out and about playing different golf courses in Sydney; however, Ryde-Parramatta Golf Club remains his favourite course (for obvious reasons).
