Ex-Westpac boss lands at investment consultant 1 minute read 11 May 2021
Former Westpac chief executive Brian Hartzer has landed a plum role at consultancy Sayers after leaving the big four bank in the wake of the AUSTRAC scandal.
Brian Hartzer has joined Sayers, a “modern advisory and investment business designed for the new economy” and founded by former PricewaterhouseCoopers CEO Luke Sayers in 2020.
“We are delighted to welcome Brian Hartzer to the Sayers team as a senior adviser. At Sayers, we are determined to bring together the brightest and the best. As an experienced executive, leadership mentor and investor, Brian’s strategic insight will make a meaningful contribution to our clients and our business,” the company said in a statement.
Sayers was the chief executive of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Australian operation until last year, while his older friend Brasher served as the chairman of the same large accounting firm’s global board. Brisbane Lions president Andrew Wellington, a current partner and board member (Australia), is yet another PwC man.
Collingwood, meanwhile, has just replaced Eddie McGuire, an indomitable media personality, with the more subdued Mark Korda, who’s made his name in Australian business as a corporate undertaker at KordaMentha, the company that specialises in salvaging broken companies - a fitting job description for dealing with Collingwood’s on-field fortunes in 2021.

Today, the people at the helm are increasingly institutional corporate people, a trend that has been underway for several years and is personified by the man who sits at the helm of the AFL, Richard Goyder, who is chairman of Qantas, Woodside

How do we judge the tenure of Carlton president Mark LoGiudice?

Carlton president Mark LoGiudice will step down at the conclusion of the 2021 season after 12 years on the board and eight years at the helm.
The decision was confirmed on Tuesday morning, with club director Luke Sayers set to take over the distinguished role.
Judging LoGiudice’s time at the top at Princes Park is a difficult one, with the club undergoing a total rebuild in that time, hitting the draft hard and ultimately not having any success on the field.
The club sacked two coaches, Mick Malthouse and Brendon Bolton, under his reign and did not play finals.
