How do you take a business valued at next to nothing, and turn it into a global powerhouse? What are the tangible traits that make one leader different from another? 

For over 20 years, Dr Brian McNamee was the CEO of Commonwealth Serum Laboratories. In 1999, it was a small government owned business valued at little more than its buildings. Incredibly, under Brian’s leadership, it has been transformed into Australia’s biggest company - with over 25,000 employees in more than 35 countries. 

As Australia’s largest vaccine manufacturer, CSL’s impact and Brian’s voice are important now more than ever.

Regarded by many as an outlier in corporate Australia for his unique thinking, Dr McNamee is still at the head of CSL’s decision making, and continues to be a leader in one of the world’s most important industries.
