Melbourne Institute of Technology has appointed an expert in corporate governance and ethics as the Head of its Business School. Marcia O’Neill recently took up the new role at MIT.
Marcia comes to MIT from the National School of Business at the Australian Catholic University where she served as Head, School of Business and Informatics. Marcia is a former Victorian State President and National Board Director of CPA Australia.
