Business Matters: The Power of Partnership - driving outcomes from government, industry and sport partnerships beyond 2032

Join our last Business Matters event of the year on 21 November at the Westin in partnership with Australian Retirement Trust.

With the highly successful Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games now behind us, the world’s attention is now turning to LA28. But with that Games set to be delivered almost entirely by the private sector, it’s time to examine how Queensland business can partner with government and the community to lead the agenda for a Brisbane 2032 Games to drive enduring economic growth and prosperity for all Queenslanders. It’s about answering the call to get ready - and be ready - for one of the greatest business opportunities of our generation. 
Moderated by renowned ABC Journalist Ellen Fanning, the following panelists will have the opportunity to gather and explore the significant economic matters that impact us all now and into the future:

1. Kieren Perkins OAM, CEO at Australian Sports Commission
2. Kate Meyrick, Director at Urbis

Speakers:

Kieren Perkins OAM, Chief Executive Officer, Australian Sports Commission

Kieren is regarded as one of the world’s greatest distance swimmers having won four Olympic medals for Australia. He broke 11 world records and is the first person in history to hold the Olympic, world, Commonwealth and Pan Pacific titles simultaneously. Perkins retired from swimming in 2000 after claiming a silver medal in the 1500m freestyle at his home Olympics. This performance made him the first person in history to win three consecutive Olympic medals in the 1500m.  Mr Perkins transferred his knowledge and experience to build a successful career across the consulting and banking sectors, including 10 years at National Australia Bank (NAB) before taking on the Chief Executive Officer role at Australian Unity’s retail banking unit in 2021. Having seen sport from all angles over four decades, Mr Perkins is passionate about the whole sports sector, from grassroots to high performance. Mr Perkins was President of Swimming Australia until he took on the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Sports Commission in March 2022. His focus in this new role is to ensure sport has a place for everyone and delivers results that make Australia proud.
