Description
Susan Oliver has experience on both sides of markets. As an investor she sits on the global investment committee of IFM Investors (a company with over $100 billion in assets under management!) and also co-founded Scale Investors, a venture capital fund for women-led start ups. As a company director she has sat on the boards of some of Australia's largest companies, including Transurban, Bupa and Programmed. She also sits on the board of a number of not-for-profits including, the Wheeler Centre, the Melbourne Theatre Company and the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra. Given her accomplishments as a businesswoman and investor, it was a pleasure to sit down with Susan and unpack some of the lessons she has learnt throughout her career. In this episode you will learn: • What a strategic asset is, and why Susan looks to invest in them • Why only 10% of venture capital funding in Australia goes to women • What the government needs to do to encourage Australian entrepreneurs • Why Susan supports quotas for Australian company boards • How IFM Investors factor ESG (Environmental-Social-Governance) criteria into their investing • The strategy that drove Transurban to become one of Australia's largest companies Hosted on Acast.
