MBS Emerging Leaders

2025 Emerging Leaders Program

28th April - 2nd May

The rapidly changing landscape of the superannuation fund industry renders an opportunity for emerging leaders to be exposed to the contemporary tools and frameworks that will help you navigate the industry. The Emerging Leaders Program is a 5-day program which will encompass:

  • Leadership, Innovation and Change

  • People Management

  • Strategy

  • Marketing

  • Finance

  • Project Management

  • Navigating Uncertain Futures

The program is designed to provide senior managers who aspire to be a future fund executive the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, taught by some of MBS’s senior faculty.

Some of the 2023 FEAL Emerging Leaders cohort Stewart Pender, CareSuper, Judy Wilson, Funds SA, Lydia Vitalis, Rest Super & Dileepa Diyagama, Equip Super at the 2024 FEAL National Conference.

Participating in the MBS Emerging Leaders Program was a remarkable experience. The depth of knowledge and passion exhibited by the team from Melbourne Business School was impressive and the opportunity to engage with my industry peers has had an immediate, positive impact on my work. I left with a greater appreciation for the wider function of my industry and a clear path for my own personal development. The only regret I have, is that I didn’t enrol sooner!

Thank you to FEAL for making this happen, UniSuper for supporting my professional development and to the amazing 1886 Consultants for sponsoring the scholarship that enabled me to attend.
