The Governance Institute of Australia (GIA) has appointed a new national president.

He is the youngest-ever appointment to the presidency, but despite being aged 39, has a 17-year career in Governance and is company secretary for four listed investment companies, including Australia's largest, Australian Foundation Investment Company.
He was previously deputy company secretary for ANZ Banking Group and prior to that, head of board support for Barclays PLC in the United Kingdom.
