The Cambridge Society of Australia (Victoria) welcomes alumni and guests at their next lunch event on Wednesday 16th May with their special guest speaker James Sergeant.

James Sergeant read History and History of Art at St John's.  His career since then has focused on public policy management and financial services regulation, with one brief diversion back into the arts.  James worked initially at the U.K. Cabinet Office, before taking an MBA at Imperial College, London and moving on to the Association of British Insurers and the Financial Services Authority.  James emigrated to New Zealand in 2010 where he worked on regulatory policy and financial services at the New Zealand Treasury in Wellington. Since June 2017, James has been on loan to the Commonwealth Government's Productivity Commission but will be returning to Wellington in June to take up a new role at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.  James was President of the Wellington Cambridge Society for three years before his move to Melbourne.
