Craig Dunn
Craig Dunn has had significant achievements in a range of senior executive roles, with substantial experience in leading financial services businesses, growth and strategy development, mergers and acquisitions, business integration and transformation, and working closely with regulators in various countries. Craig is also an experienced non-executive director of major Australian companies and not for profits.
Craig has a strong reputation in leading successful change and in developing people, effectively managing his own transition from divisional to group CEO. He has worked with his own mentor during his executive career and brings an exceptional ability to relate to, and support, those he mentors; enabling them to benefit from his extensive experience and valuable expertise in a wide range of situations in ways which are both compelling yet humble. Craig’s significant experience as a non-executive director also means he brings invaluable insights to mentees reporting to Boards.
