Judith Davis (Adelaide SA)
My business acumen is based on a diversified Commonwealth Bank Australia career, external accreditations, a variety of tertiary level qualifications, and external experiences within the school, sporting and not for profit sectors.
I provide and have provided strategic and operational planning to a range of community, non- government and business organisations. This includes risk management, strategic planning and facilitating training via strategic planning workshops, monitoring of financial reports and developing budgets. Additionally I coach and mentor people pro-bono and have mentored new business owners to start up their business.
My Board experience has given me a contemporary knowledge around governance, risk management and controls along with business management and analysis. I have supported Vinnies through volunteer work which has involved writing grant applications and assisting with various other administrative functions, including preparation of budgets. I also volunteer on Fred’s Van feeding the homeless and marginalized in the city, and managing the Hawthorn Shop one day a week. I am also a Justice of the Peace.
During my working, committee and Board life I have worked with many people of various educational, cultural and religious backgrounds and have a strong commitment to diversity. I have also mentored in leadership and performance management outcomes.
In both my employment and voluntary roles, I have gained extensive experience in building relationships by collaborating with a wide range of people from all walks of life. Additionally I have extensive experience in Operational and Strategic Planning and Project Management of which all were done within my positon at the Commonwealth Bank Australia dealing with million-dollar budgets.
With regards to Project Management I held the State Coordinator Major Projects position for 3 years and which included premises changes to open plan branches in South Australia and the Northern Territory, training and change management and executing a national marketing strategy. I also completed the bank’s Business Continuity Plan post the Katherine Disaster.
