Welcome to a special edition of Fast Five – our series where we ask Victoria’s most influential and exceptional business leaders five questions to get a behind-the-scenes look at some of Australia’s most dynamic businesses.

Ahead of the club’s final home-and-away game of the season, we spoke to Melbourne United CEO Nick Truelson at the club’s elite training facility, Hoop City, in Cheltenham. Melbourne United recently joined the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce as it prepares for an assault on this year’s NBL finals.

Mr Truelson has been CEO of Melbourne United since 2021. His previous roles include Chief Commercial Officer at the Western Bulldogs and Fan Development Manager at the Essendon Bombers.

We spoke to Mr Truelson about Melbourne United’s success, its relationships with its fans and corporate partners, the importance of diversity and inclusion and Isaac Humphries, who came out as the first openly gay Australian professional basketballer in 2022.
