Mike Sneesby has solely simply left the 9 constructing as CEO after what he referred to as one of many “most difficult” years of his profession.
However there was a interval when life was just a little extra chilled.
When he was CEO of Stan there was time to go to viewers -literally- as this story printed in 2018 relayed…
A Stan subscriber in Newtown was having a lot hassle along with his buffering that he tweeted to the Stan staff, inviting them to come back over for Nachos and Beer to test it out.
I’d wish to formally invite a member of @StanAustralia to come back watch TV with me, repair my service and take a look at some scrumptious nachos on the identical time. Assured the most effective service will probably be my nachos. #stan #stanaustralia

Stan CEO Mike Sneesby took him up on the supply. Actually.
5 of the blokes from Stan, together with model ambassador Beau Ryan wearing a Breaking Unhealthy outfit popped over later that week to look at some TV and repair his downside.
On his illustrators weblog Sindy Sinn (pictured entrance proper) says, “In walks a man in a full physique hazmat swimsuit. Having watched Breaking Unhealthy on Stan I knew this man. That is Walter White. ‘We’re right here for the pest extermination, thoughts if we herald some tools?’ He takes off his respirator gas-mask. It’s Beau Ryan. Then in comes the remainder of the Stan staff. Amongst them is Mike (pictured centre). Hugs and handshakes had been exchanged. And I feel all of us relaxed as we realized none of us had been serial killers.
“I confirmed them what was mistaken with my Stan. Fortunately, it didn’t work. It performed blurry and took ages to load. One of many staff was their IT guru. He obtained caught straight into the TV, whereas the remainder of us obtained caught into the killer nachos. Beth had nailed it. In the meantime a pc flashed numbers and diagnostics, like some kind of hacker breaking right into a crypto-safe. ‘We’re not leaving till that is mounted!’ Mike defined. I joked he might sleep on the sofa if he wanted.”
He added, “Mike informed me about Stan and the way it began. He additionally informed me about reveals that had been about to come back out that no one is aware of about but (shh). And I talked about my artwork stuff, Younger Henrys beer and the way I’d just lately came upon my subsequent door neighbour is a magician (that’s one other story). Round 11ish, their guru Pranav has discovered and remoted some errors. It appears the Stan buffering blah-blah router algorithm blah blah code doesn’t like my modem. In order that they reveal a shiny new modem and Mike triumphantly stomps the outdated one to demise and throws it into the underside of the ice-watery esky.”
The gesture is already getting media consideration on-line and radio.
Very cool.
