This episode #248 features a rare and candid conversation with
Vivek Bhatia, Global CEO of MUFG Pension & Market Services, a
global provider of shareholder and retirement services with
7,000+ employees serving millions of investors across Australia,
the UK, Japan and India. He previously served as CEO &
Managing Director of Link Group, CEO of QBE Insurance, and CEO of
icare NSW.
In discussion with Vidit Agarwal, Vivek reflects on his journey
from growing up in India to arriving in Australia as a young
migrant working in call centres, before rising to lead some of
the country’s most complex financial institutions. Along the way,
he shares the cultural lessons that shaped him — including his
belief that India taught him ambition, while Australia taught him
balance.
Vivek also reflects on the defining moments that shaped his
leadership philosophy, from consulting at McKinsey & Company
to leading large-scale transformations at Link Group, QBE and
icare. He discusses what the CEO job actually involves
day-to-day, how to transform legacy organisations without losing
the people inside them, navigating global businesses across
cultures and markets, and the opportunity for deeper economic and
leadership ties between Australia and India.
