As Chief Commercial Officer, George will be responsible for member-facing and customer-centric services including events, marketing, membership and sales.

“Governance Institute has an excellent reputation as a champion of strong governance practices across all layers of an organisation,” said George.

“I look forward to working with the team to ensure that we are delivering the best service possible for our members and the broader community in a proactive and innovative way.”
