"All transformation should come from strategy." - Julie CoatesJulie Coates, Director of Wesfarmers and Scentre Group, led the OneCSR transformation programme as CEO and Managing Director of CSR Limited — a programme that contributed directly to CSR's acquisition by Saint-Gobain at a significant premium. In this episode, Julie explains the governance architecture she put in place: the board's oversight role, the management board's accountability for driving change, a steering committee chaired by Julie herself, and the program office that ran all individual projects.Drawing on her current NED experience, she also explains what non-executive directors should be focused on when overseeing a transformation — and why the quality of questions asked in the boardroom matters more than most directors appreciate._______________Note: Julie Coates was interviewed in September 2025. Since this interview, Julie has ceased to be a director of the Green Building Council of Australia and been appointed as a director of Scentre Group.________________Follow Podcast Host ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Richard Conway⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on LinkedInFollow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠boardcycle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on LinkedInVisit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠boardcycle website

This episode #248 features a rare and candid conversation with Vivek Bhatia, Global CEO of MUFG Pension & Market Services, a global provider of shareholder and retirement services with 7,000+ employees serving millions of investors across Australia, the UK, Japan and India. He previously served as CEO & Managing Director of Link Group, CEO of QBE Insurance, and CEO of icare NSW. In discussion with Vidit Agarwal, Vivek reflects on his journey from growing up in India to arriving in Australia as a young migrant working in call centres, before rising to lead some of the country's most complex financial institutions. Along the way, he shares the cultural lessons that shaped him — including his belief that India taught him ambition, while Australia taught him balance. Vivek also reflects on the defining moments that shaped his leadership philosophy, from consulting at McKinsey & Company to leading large-scale transformations at Link Group, QBE and icare. He discusses what the CEO job actually involves day-to-day, how to transform legacy organisations without losing the people inside them, navigating global businesses across cultures and markets, and the opportunity for deeper economic and leadership ties between Australia and India.

The Aussie market ended October on a flat and uninspired note, slipping by around four points on Friday to mark a fourth straight day of losses. That left the ASX 200 down roughly 1.4% for the week — its worst since April — as investors digested hotter-than-expected inflation data and reassessed expectations for future rate cuts. Despite the late-month pullback, the index still managed a 0.4% gain for October overall. Energy and materials helped limit losses, while consumer discretionary and utilities weighed most heavily, with Wesfarmers and Origin Energy both under pressure. Resmed was among the day’s bright spots, lifting after a solid quarterly update. Looking ahead, attention turns to the RBA’s rate decision on Melbourne Cup Day, US inflation data tonight, and next week’s bank earnings from Westpac, NAB, and Macquarie.

The Aussie sharemarket extended losses to a third straight day, weighed down by fading hopes of another RBA rate cut this year after yesterday’s hotter-than-expected inflation data. The ASX200 slipped about half a percent, trimming October’s monthly gain to just 0.5%. Overnight, the US Fed delivered another 25-basis-point rate cut but signalled caution about further easing, while Nvidia hit a record US$5 trillion valuation. Locally, healthcare and energy stocks led modest gains, but sharp falls in consumer discretionary shares — dragged by Wesfarmers — kept the broader market under pressure. Investors also watched a high-stakes meeting between US and Chinese leaders, their first face-to-face since Trump’s re-election, aimed at easing trade tensions.
