Mily Nielsen’s driving force is to contribute to other people’s success. It’s her genuine desire to deliver and support others that has facilitated strong professional bonds and networks, as well as forged Mily a rich and varied career.
Starting in administrative support roles in her early twenties, Mily was exposed to a vast number of different industries and has relished being the “go to person” for these key decision makers and business owners. Over this time, she developed a keen interest in leadership styles, business ethics and formed the firm belief that the key behind a successful business is its people.

Working in executive support roles for over a decade, Mily moved into a project coordination role within education, with the University of South Australia. This afforded Mily the opportunity to be exposed to, and work closely with, a variety of organisations, leaders and industry experts.

Mily’s broad career experience, as well as her unique position as being the “right hand” to a range of successful executives, gives her an advantage in understanding different industries, roles and career paths.

Joining Underwood Executive in 2019, Mily balances her analytical mind, attention to detail and project management skills with intuition, and she expects the best from not just herself, but everyone around her.

An Adelaide girl, born and bred, Mily enjoys spending time with her four-year-old daughter, Asta, who herself, incidentally, also has some impressive executive leadership skills!
