Business Briefing with Marnie Baker 

Managing Director, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank

Bendigo and Adelaide Bank is often rated among the most trusted brands and most trusted banks in Australia. With the Hayne Report due to be handed down in February 2019, hear from the Managing Director of the bank that many say fared best in the proceedings.

In this Business Briefing, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank’s Managing Director, Marnie Baker will share her insight and perspective on the role of leadership in a digital and post-Royal Commission world. With consumer trust in the banking and finance industry taking a resounding hit as a result of the Royal Commission, recent high-profile examples of data misuse by well-known global corporations and a new decentralised open banking realm on the horizon, Baker will outline her vision for how leaders can navigate a disruptive and challenging environment to drive better outcomes for all. 

Bendigo and Adelaide Bank’s shared value strategy has seen it remain one of Australia’s most trusted brands despite increased industry and national focus. Baker will discuss the importance of leadership in balancing all stakeholder needs to positively impact society and at the same time, deliver business value.
