Grant Dawson MBA, GAICD, Chartered Accountant, Director, based in Melbourne and Chair of Governance Risk Audit Finance (GRAF) Committee

Grant has over 35 years’ experience leading finance and corporate services teams, mostly with multi-national manufacturing companies and for-purpose organisations. 

He saw poverty firsthand while living in Hong Kong for four years and working in nearby countries. Encounters with people and legal systems so vastly different to those in Australia led to a change of direction over 20 years ago, taking him into the for-purpose sector. 

Grant has retired from permanent work and is now a board member for IJM and another organisation, bringing hope and a helping hand to people living in some of the world’s darkest places.
