Sally began her career as a Solicitor and took the small business she co-founded to the ASX. Prior to being the Victorian Executive Director of the Property Council of Australia, she held senior roles at both KPMG and ANZ. She was the first woman to hold the post of Agent-General for Victoria in the UK, Europe and Israel and also served as the CEO for the Committee for Melbourne and COO of the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
As a passionate Magpie supporter, in 2004 she made history as the first female board member of Collingwood FC. She is involved in a number of charities, currently sitting on the board of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute, the Mary Jane Lewis Scholarship Foundation and the Melbourne University Faculty of Business and Economics.
Join us for lunch as Sally opens the conversation on managing population growth, major infrastructure projects, and tackling homelessness as the key challenges facing Melbourne. ÂÂ
