-          Terry Davis, CEO, Coca Cola Amatil
-          Michael Chaney, CEO, Wesfarmers

We are committed to remaining the leading Faculty of our kind in the Asian region and through this series, we are confident that we will strengthen our already excellent relations with our alumni and the business community.”
