Russ WoodRuss has an MBA from Melbourne Business School, is a former adviser to State and Federal Government ministers, a former exec at a leading national charity and is currently Vice President at Eating Disorders' Victoria and Company Secretary at the Social Impact Measurement Network of Australia (SIMNA).
A lightning-bolt moment for Russ was the ABC Learning/Goodstart Early Learning deal completed back in 2008-2009. Here was a commercial provider of child care services, ABC Learning – in administration – being bought out by a consortium of not-for-profit, government, for-profit and ‘social’ investors. The thought that we could combine the best of charity, investment, private businesses, philanthropy and government in getting better social outcomes and STILL compete financially with the big end of town … Wow! |
