Who we are
Afterburner Australia is a team of fighter pilots. We take the planning and execution system that keeps pilots alive and install it into business teams, through keynotes and the Top Gun Experience.
We are led by Matt Hall, Red Bull Air Race World Champion and former RAAF Wing Commander, and Chris 'Camel' Chmiel, a serving fighter pilot with over 2,000 missions. Between us, decades in the cockpit and in the room, turning hard-won military discipline into habits a business can run every day.
Earned in the cockpit
Everything we teach came out of a fighter squadron, where a plan that does not survive contact costs more than a quarter of revenue.
We did not read about it in a book. We flew it, briefed it, and got debriefed on it in front of our peers, nameless and rankless, until it became instinct.
Meet the team →A system, not a speech
Fighter pilots plan, brief, fly and debrief every mission. It is how they perform under pressure and survive mistakes. We bring that same loop to business teams, and we make it stick.
Combat-tested
The method comes from military operations, not a business textbook.
Nameless and rankless
In the debrief, the best idea wins. Not the loudest title in the room.
Built to stick
We do not lecture. Teams learn the system, run it, and keep using it.
Two places to start
See how we work, and meet the people who deliver it.
