Bernard Salt

Biography

TOPICS: BUSINESS, MEDIA

Business Analyst, Property Advisor, Media Commentator, Consumer and Cultural Trends Commentator, Author Bernard Salt has been described as the next-generation Hugh Mackay and Phil Ruthven.

Bernard is KPMG Director of Property. He has established an enviable profile within corporate Australia as an adviser and as a commentator on consumer, cultural and demographic trends. He is also author of a best-selling book The Big Shift launched in July 2001.

Bernard’s client list reads like a Who’s Who of Business investment and development. He has worked on a diverse range of projects-from advising retailers where and why to position stores, to being instrumental in the launch and expansion of a property trust established in 1995 and which now contains assets of more than $500 million.

When one publicly listed client advised the investment market of its intention to purchase an asset for more than $300 million, the client’s stocks dropped. Bernard was engaged to educate analysts about the fuller potential of the proposed purchase. The client’s stocks recovered almost immediately following Bernard’s roadshow.

Bernard is engaged by Corporations to review market trends and to advise on property acquisitions and expansions. He is frequently quoted in the Australian media and has appeared on numerous radio and television programs including the Today Show, Business Sunday, Nightline and Healthy, Wealthy & Wise.
