“It’s fair to say that banking wasn’t my aspiration when I was at school. However, two decades ago I had the opportunity to lead a flagship branch in Brisbane CBD, it was here I developed a keen interest in the banking sector. Leading teams enabling customers to achieve their financial goals has and remains today what keeps me motivated to continuously look for better ways to support the banks clients. Having served the agribusiness sector for over 10 years, I’ve worked with customers who have faced into very challenging times such as droughts and floods to name a few. Agri enterprises are hugely impacted by these factors and it’s extremely important for the bank to respond to customers in times of need, to add value and to be a reliable support system for them. I get great satisfaction seeing the families we work with in the Agri sector throughout North QLD grow wealth while contributing to domestic and global food bowls as the result of strong relationships held with a local banker. Success for me is not just about being able to support our clients with the capital they need to run and grow their business but also show value in what we do by working collaboratively with the client’s suite of professionals. When our clients think of the team as a trusted advisor that’s when I know we’ve done our job.” Today, we are celebrating National Ag Day – ‘Grow you Good Thing’ honouring the dedication and grit of those in Agriculture, which reminds us of the vital role the Australian agriculture industry plays in our lives.
