BUSINESS BRIEFING WITH ROBYN DENHOLM
|
|
Speaker:
- Robyn Denholm, Chief Financial Officer and Head of Strategy,
Telstra and Chairman of
Tesla
The telecommunications sector has long had a significant role in underpinning the connected economy.
How can this translate to support for up-and-coming entrepreneurialism? Hear Robyn Denholm discuss the case for nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit not only within Australia, but worldwide.
At this event, we will also hear how Telstra is stepping up to the challenge, looking at examples like muru-D, a start-up accelerator helping tech founders scale their businesses; and Telstra Ventures, an investment program targeting leading, high growth technology companies.
Ms Denholm will be in conversation with award-winning journalist Elysse Morgan, host of The Business on ABC TV and ABC NEWS Channel.

DR GUY DEBELLE, DEPUTY GOVERNOR, RESERVE BANK OF AUSTRALIA
|
|
Speaker:
- Dr Guy Debelle, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of Australia
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is Australia's central bank and its duty is to contribute to the stability of the currency, full employment, and the economic prosperity and welfare of the Australian people. It does this by setting the cash rate to meet an agreed medium-term inflation target, working to maintain a strong financial system and efficient payments system, and issuing the nation's banknotes.
This role is especially important in today’s uncertain banking environment. Guy Debelle started his career with an honours degree in economics from The University of Adelaide, and jobs at the International Monetary Fund, Bank for International Settlements, Australian Treasury and as a visiting professor in economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Book your places for this event, spaces are limited in the beautiful Gilbert Suite at the ACC.
