He is also a keen equities and property investor and advocate for financial literacy and strong corporate governance.
As a passionate investor and advocate for enhancing financial literacy Ben is excited about the opportunity to contribute his skills, experience, and expertise to help the Australia Shareholders Association achieve its goals.
