My mentee is a very talented woman in India trying to launch a business that offered a personality personality test based on ancient Wisdom and traditions of Indian scriptures. The program connects senior women in the western world with entrepreneurial women in developing countries offering mentoring on how to launch their business and make it viable in their market. The opportunity which was supported by Bank of America Merrill Lynch allowed me to meet my mentee in London and we both sat on a panel with Cherie Blair to discuss the program and the mutual benefits of the mentoring relationship. It was a very rewarding experience and would recommend it to anyone, men and women.

As Head of Islamic Finance at NAB, Dr Imran Lum has pioneered Australia’s first Islamic business banking offering, threading a needle between commercial innovation and cultural understanding. Born to Malaysian-Chinese and Malay-Muslim parents, Lum’s lived experience of identity and exclusion shaped his deep engagement with Asia. An academic, author and podcaster, he views Islamic finance as a model for regional engagement. “Islamic finance forces you to understand both sides... it’s a microcosm of how we should engage with Asia. It necessitates listening and adjusting on both sides.” Cultural fluency is essential for Australia’s future in the region – not just for inclusion, but for opportunity. His work is a reminder that trust, empathy, and nuance are the true currencies of Asia engagement.
