Professor Jenny George - Dean & Director, Melbourne Business School
I know from personal experience that being a CEO is a role like no other. The potential to drive positive change is immense, but so are the risks, challenges and the weight of responsibility. The New CEO Program will introduce you to a network of true peers so that you don't have to walk the journey alone.

Ken Mackenzie - Chairman, BHP
Many people believe that becoming a CEO is the summit of a career. In reality, it is base camp. The biggest challenges of your career still lie ahead. You are in a situation that only a few people experience in their lifetime. We have created an equally unique development experience, led by those who have walked in the same shoes.
