For the second event in the series, Fleta Solomon (2017), Brian Leedman (2001) and Rick Crabb (1987) join Thomas Murrell (1997) for a candid conversation about the decisions, challenges and lessons that have shaped their careers. Drawing on experience across healthcare, biotechnology, medicinal cannabis and resources, the panel will explore three critical phases of the business journey.

BUILD
How do you turn an idea into commercial reality?
Hear firsthand perspectives on identifying opportunities, navigating emerging markets, raising capital and building the right foundations for business growth.

SCALE
What happens when an idea takes off?
The panel will explore the realities of leading through an ever-changing industry landscape, navigating complex regulatory environments and introducing structure without losing the innovative spirit that drove early success.

GOVERN
How can strong governance become an enabler of growth rather than a barrier to it?
Hear how experienced founders, executives and directors approach leadership, major business decisions and creating sustainable long-term value for the business. With lessons spanning startups, ASX-listed companies, international expansion and the boardroom, this conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear what building, scaling and governing successful businesses looks like from those who have lived it. Join fellow alumni and members of the GMA community for an evening of candid conversation, valuable insights and meaningful connections.
