Cynthia’s innovation journey began in the financial sector, working across UBS, Merrill Lynch and as Managing Director of Barclays Australia, before becoming Group Executive of New Business at Telstra and finally her current role at Scentre Group. We delves into what it takes to be a great leader and how to manage an ambidextrous organisation whilst optimising your core - particularly when you need to manage the interests of executive management and the board, something executives the world over will be all too familiar with. Cynthia is a big believer in unlocking the capacity of ideas across an entire organisation and beyond - we'll explore how to unlock these ideas, including through accelerator programs with startups.
