MST Financial concluded the 2025 Directors & Executive Forum series in Melbourne last night with a highly engaging event, hosted in partnership with MinterEllison.

The evening focused on the increasingly important topics of global security, geopolitical conflict, and the potential implications for Australian businesses. Our keynote speaker, MAJGEN (Retd) Fergus (Gus) McLachlan, AO, FRSN , former leader of the Australian Land Forces and adviser to boards on cyber security and data intelligence, provided thoughtful perspectives on the evolving global landscape.

He was joined for a fireside chat and panel discussion by Hasan Tevfik, Investment Strategist at MST Financial, and David Morfesi, Director at MinterEllison. Together, they discussed the strategic considerations leaders may need to keep in mind as global dynamics continue to shift.

The forum again provided a valuable opportunity for discussion and connection. We extend our sincere thanks to our speakers, partners, clients, and corporates for their engagement throughout the 2025 series.

A special thank you once again to MinterEllison for hosting the evening and for their continued support.

We look forward to delivering an even more dynamic and insightful Directors & Executive Forum series in 2026.
