Polonious Managing Director and Co-founder Alastair Steel had an adventurous childhood spearfishing, playing with slingshots and climbing mango trees in Samoa.

Later in Australia, the experience of injustice associated with his father’s failed attempt to start a third airline deeply affected him and influenced his decision to pursue a career fighting crime and corruption.

After joining the Police Academy as a teenager, Steel worked in the police force for six years before qualifying as a detective at the age of 25 and entering the Fraud Squad.

Having been headhunted for the role of NSW Investigations Manager, Steel became responsible for insurance firms including NZI, CGU and FAI.
