FINSIA invites you to join us for the New South Wales Members Evening 2025 - an evening of networking, professional insights, and connection with peers across the financial services community.

This year, we are honoured to welcome Melos Sulicich F FIN, former Chief Executive Officer of Bank of Sydney, a respected leader with extensive experience across Australia’s banking and financial services landscape, as our keynote speaker.

Melos brings a wealth of leadership and board experience, having served as Managing Director and CEO of MyState Ltd, CEO of RAMS Financial Group, and Non-Executive Director at Challenger Bank Limited and the Australian Banking Association Limited, where he contributed to the Audit, Risk and Finance Committees. His deep expertise in driving growth, transformation, and performance in dynamic financial markets has made him a trusted voice in the sector.

With qualifications including a Bachelor of Business from the University of South Australia and a Master of Laws from UNSW, Melos is also a graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD) and a FINSIA Fellow (F FIN).

Melos will share his perspectives on leadership, strategy, and the future of banking in an evolving regulatory and technological environment - offering valuable insights drawn from decades of executive experience.

We are pleased to confirm that Paul Riordan F FIN from the FINSIA board will also be in attendance to meet members and guests.

Drinks and canapés will be provided. Join us for an engaging and insightful evening to hear from Melos Sulicich and connect with fellow professionals as we reflect on the year that’s been and look ahead to 2026.
