My Story
“My journey into the world of finance began as a client adviser for JB were & Son in 1986. While learning the skills required to be a successful advisor the market crash of October ’87 sent me in a new direction. A short stint as a fund manager at RACQ was quickly followed by an eight years’ term with the Western Australian based Challenge Bank.
The financial markets theme continued as I worked in distribution of financial products, becoming National Head of Distribution to finish my time there as Head of Capital Markets.
I then worked for Oakvale Capital, an outsource treasury service provider and corporate finance advisory firm. This brought me to Melbourne and a position with KPMG in the Financial Risk Management team. Five years with KPMG exposed me to large corporate treasuries and consolidated my experience with financial markets and the accounting environment.
I worked in corporate treasury (Fosters Group) before joining ANZ as Head of Risk, Investment Lending before accepting a role as CEO. A few years before this I started a property investment business with two partners and this has since grown into a solid small business with an excellent return.
I have recently accepted the role of Honorary Treasurer with Scouts Victoria, which continues my long association with this organization.”
