Vivek is currently the CEO of financial services firm Link Group, but was the CEO of iCare when we interviewed him back in July 2017.
He has over two decades of experience in financial services, government and management consulting, having also been CEO of Wesfarmers Insurance and the QBE Insurance Group APAC.
Vivek holds an undergraduate degree in engineering, a post graduate in business administration and is a Chartered Financial Analyst.
He is an Indian migrant and this episode is an inspiring story of how after arriving in Australia, he rose above the pack to become a CEO in just 10 years.
In this episode we talk all about:
- How to treat your boss like your most important customer;
- Looking for other opportunities in the business and going above your role description;
- What the most effective use of a leader’s time is; and
- Always having your antenna on.
You can connect with Vivek via LinkedIn.
