Rady has over 25 years’ investment and financial services experience across big industry names like IRESS, Macquarie Group and Stake.
Plumb and Mann are currently non-executive directors of BT Funds Management and Allianz Australia respectively, and Ripoll served in the Australian Parliament for 18 years in both government and opposition roles.
