Neil Pollock (Postgraduate Voice)

I am a current postgraduate student at the ANU studying a Juris Doctor. With over 25 years' business experience across a range of industries and geographies, including a number of senior executive roles in the last decade, I have a deep understanding of what it takes to work collaboratively to achieve timely outcomes in pressure environments. I also have firsthand experience balancing work, study and other commitments. I am acutely aware of the challenges postgraduate and research students face on a day-to-day basis.

I also know what it means to work as part of a team and support the leadership, while meeting my own obligations. The Vice President role is an important one for PARSA given recent announcements from the University. Supporting the President and the PARSA team to deliver critical projects and representing the organisation to both the ANU and external parties are all roles in which I’m very well versed.

As an experienced global executive, if successful, I commit to bringing my deep business experience to enable PARSA to achieve its goals through active engagement with the PARSA community in a professional, collaborative and outcome-focussed manner. Our ticket is dedicated to preserving the integrity of the postgraduate voice, and as Vice President, I will ensure PARSA works to keep the ANU accountable.
