PSI Managers’ years of experience in two sectors – finance and charity – and our enviable connections in the human services sector enable us to help you develop a strategic and innovative approach to the causes that matter to you.
The following are a snapshot of some of that experience:
- Led the rebuilding of the corporate infrastructure at a major charity, changing senior personnel and implementing improved business systems and procedures during a period of high income growth;
- Built a unit in large charity that managed the social innovation culture and systems, and expanded significantly the non-government funding to support that innovation;
- Appointed at the age of 31 a Partner of Bain & Co, one of Australia’s largest stockbroking firms, and subsequently appointed a Director for 10 years at Deutsche Bank Australia, when that organization bought out the Bain partnership;
- Restructured and rebuilt equity sales operations at Bain & Co and Deutsche Bank in London, Europe, Asia and Australia and built from scratch an Equity Capital Markets business;
- Led a project to build a Dutch inspired housing and care model for older Australians; led an innovative community development initiative in Western Sydney; and led the formation of social enterprises in the areas of primary health care for mothers and babies, and social inclusion through food tours and food literacy;
- Contributed to the early formation and funding of Social Ventures Australia and later to the formation of the GoodStart Consortium which now owns 600 childcare centres.
