PROFILE• Strategic global business builder: multi-jurisdictional career spanning both global asset management and investment banking industries. Proven results driven ability, to set strategy, create a mission, build teams, and importantly build winning team cultures to achieve tangible results, including full business turnarounds. As a Senior Member of Fidelity's Global and APAC Senior Leadership Teams and Country Head of Fidelity International Australia, I designed and executed the Australian Expansion Plan; a Board approved multi-year investment, to build scale while de-risking the business. Achieved through (1) the diversification of asset classes and product vehicles, (2) building new globally appropriate operating platforms, (3) diversifying from the accumulation to retirement market and (4) expanding our relevance for more diverse client channels. Delivered 215% ROI, record AUM and profitability, and significantly reduced concentration risk in Australian Equities, while growing operating margin from 8% to 32%, thereby building an exceptionally resilient business model, into the face of growing market volatility.• Deeply experienced in commercialising investment intellectual property (IP): in our ‘human capital’ intensive industry, I use a ‘hub and spoke’ approach, which involves centralising adaptable investment IP, in a hub, and then focusing the business on commercialising this IP through multiple routes, to build long term P&L resilience. At CIMB, this approach facilitated CIMB Australia becoming the platform for building the Pan-Asian Equity infrastructure, across 17 geographies and significantly elevated our commissions base and ability to drive lucrative cross regional investment banking deals.• Proven ability to create winning team cultures: skilled in building and leading high performing teams including sales teams, and deeply experienced in fostering difficult cultural change, with a proven ability to build psychological safety via multi-year work programs. I have the ability to identify strengths while neutralizing weaknesses, resulting in cohesive units that attract and retain people. • Trusted client advisor: I act as a trusted advisor to clients, while developing client relationships to maximize business opportunities. Skilled in engaging in holistic systems thinking with multi-jurisdictional clients in all business channels, to contribute to the broader health of the global financial services, eco-system.
