What has been your biggest professional challenge to date?

It’s keeping up to date with the ever-changing credit environment. There is a plethora of different services around to meet every business need. Understanding your client’s needs through communication and open collaboration is key to knowing what services will suit them to assist and help their business achieve their goals or challenges throughout the year.

What involvement have you had with the AICM?

I joined four years ago when I started at Equifax. They are a big supporter of the AICM and it’s been a great asset to my learning and engagement across many industries within credit. When I’m at work, I’m dealing with clients and my network on a professional level but at the AICM it’s more personal. Knowing there is life outside of business is fun and I like to socialise with the team and the AICM members. The AICM is a family, it’s a forum where I’ve had some of my best learnings through the experiences shared by others that have been within credit for quite some time. Its people are on the front line understanding the market and collaborating within the membership. This is a forum that helps me know what customers are facing on a day-to-day basis.

What advice can you give to emerging credit professionals?

Listen and learn from peers. All knowledge is valuable. Take every piece and digest it and apply it to your learning journey. Take advantage of the AICM courses that have been presented in an everevolving industry. Engage with peers to understand the gaps in what services they need compared to what they are receiving when making credit decisions. Best of all, look around you and see how you can learn through the journeys of others.

What are your favourite things to do outside of your profession?

My three boys are all heavily involved in sports and I enjoy this time with them. I’ve been manager and coach at the Hills Bulls Rugby League and Oztag teams where the boys have played over the last 10 years. Like the AICM and my employment at Equifax, my career is built on a team environment and I enjoy teamwork and see this applied early on in life as in the case with my sons through sporting events. Sports are great – I love the camaraderie.

Thanks to Stefanie, Trent and Adam for allowing me to interview them. It’s always inspiring to hear about the people who are our members.

President’s report

What an amazing year to be living in Victoria and Tasmania! In my opinion, 2022 has been the year of changing jobs, interest rates, flexible working, resilience and strong leadership. The conference summed up the year for me as it felt like a huge family gathering of over 425 people within our industry, catching up as we have not seen each other for years.

A heartfelt thank you to my council members. I’m so proud to be among their expertise, enthusiasm and ongoing commitment to bringing
