Our Alumni is founded on the idea of ‘Connection for life’ – how did your ongoing ties to Charter Hall make returning feel like the natural next step?

After leaving, I often found myself reflecting on how Charter Hall managed certain aspects of the business and realised that the processes and procedures that the Group had in place, were what helped drive the success of not only the business but the people who work here. In the period since leaving, a lot of people had moved roles and others had left the business, but the core values remained, so it was an easy decision to return and felt like coming home.

Returning to Charter Hall, what’s one insight you’ve gained that’s helped you approach familiar terrain with fresh energy?

Embrace the pace of Charter Hall and use it to drive positive outcomes.
