Dr Jacques (Jac) Atkinson-Bodourian is a senior consultant at Q5 with a passion for blending creativity and structured problem-solving. With a PhD in inorganic chemistry, Jac’s early fascination with science shaped a career defined by curiosity, analytical thinking, and the ability to translate complex ideas into practical solutions.
Professionally, Jac has advised government clients across Australia, particularly in education and defence, helping organisations strengthen strategy, governance, and management practices. He brings a narrative-driven approach to problem-solving, framing challenges in ways that reveal opportunities for efficiency, clarity, and meaningful change.
At Q5, Jac is committed to helping clients navigate complexity, uplift performance, and design sustainable systems that work in practice as well as on paper.
Outside of work, Jac enjoys writing and painting – not for mastery, but as forms of self-expression that fuel his creativity and broaden his perspective.
