Victoria’s Former Premier Steve Bracks Joins Board of Beirut Hellenic Bank

The former Premier of Victoria, the Hon Steve Bracks AC , has joined the Board of Beirut Hellenic Bank (formerly known as Laiki Bank Australia), bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge to the dynamic, recently re-branded Bank.  Mr. Bracks, drawing upon almost eight years of experience as the Premier of Victoria, as well as experience in advising several leading Australian finance and service sector corporations, joined the Board as an independent Non-Executive Director. The Chairman of Beirut Hellenic Bank, Nick Pappas, welcomed the appointment saying: “Steve Bracks is a very important addition to the Bank’s Board, particularly for our coverage in Victoria”. James Wakim, Managing Director & CEO of Beirut Hellenic Bank, added: “The addition of a director of the calibre of Steve Bracks to our Board is a major development for the Bank. “

Steve Bracks expressed his own enthusiasm for the appointment and for the future of Beirut Hellenic Bank in Australia: “I am very excited about serving on the Board of such an important organisation, not just for the two communities in which it currently operates, but also for what it stands for, being the pursuit of genuine customer value in banking, as well as reflecting and extending the reality of multiculturalism in Australia.“

Steve Bracks was one of Victoria’s most successful Premiers, winning three consecutive elections including achieving record majorities in the 2002 and 2006 elections. Mr. Bracks currently serves as Chairman of the superannuation fund Cbus, is a Director of Jardine Lloyd Thomson Australia, and a Senior Adviser to KPMG. He is also the Independent Chair for the Australian Subscription Television and Radio Association (ASTRA). Mr. Bracks holds six major honorary positions: as an Adviser to the Prime Minister of Timor-Leste, Xanana Gusmao; as a Director of the Bionic Ear Institute Board; as Chair of the Deakin Foundation, Deakin University; and Centre for Dialogue, La Trobe University. He is also Honorary Chair of the Union Education Foundation and the John Button Foundation and is a leading advocate for both multiculturalism and Aboriginal reconciliation.
