Mitchell Ross

Mitchell Ross is a proud Bidjigal man, Co-Founder and CEO of Muru Office Supplies, a national workplace supplies provider, and is passionate about supporting the growth of the First Nations business sector and giving back to the community.

After working in the IT industry for almost 15 years, providing technology services to small business customers, Mitchell discovered the emerging supplier diversity trend in 2011 and pivoted to workplace supplies.

Mitchell has grown Muru from the ground up, transforming it into one of the largest First Nations-owned companies in Australia. Muru has partnered with leading brands such as CBA, Telstra, Boral, Qantas, Fortescue, and KPMG.

Mitchell helps organisations capture value beyond the products they purchase through Muru. He creates partnerships that are more than transactional, offering ongoing mutual value through social outcomes.

Muru means ‘pathway’ in the language of the coastal Sydney region, and Mitchell's vision is to create a pathway for future generations, helping to close the gap for First Nations people. A percentage of all Muru profits is donated to First Nations community programs that support education, employment, and health and wellbeing initiatives.
