Michelle Somlyay is appointed Queensland Operations Director
Nexus is thrilled to welcome Michelle Somlyay as Queensland’s Operations Director.
Michelle’s passion lies in exceptional, patient-centred care and advocacy, emphasising that these principles should be the foundation of healthcare practices. She was drawn to healthcare from an early age, and after attending interviews with her local hospital matron as a 12-year-old, she earned a place in a small training programme more than four decades ago.
Michelle has numerous degrees in nursing, a Master of Business Administration, and has completed the AICD Directors Course. Her strategic management experience spans operations, finance, clinical, and administrative sectors, ensuring patient care remains at the core of every position she undertakes, no matter the constraints.
As Queensland’s Operations Director, Michelle’s daily mantra, “Listen, Learn, Lead,” ensures she attentively captures her team’s insights, continuously expands her knowledge, and skilfully steers operations towards excellence. Outside of her work, Michelle enjoys adventuring with her husband and 12-year-old daughter and can be found camping, snorkelling, four-wheel-driving, or hosting dinner parties with her loved ones.
