Karyn Freeman

Head of Government Rel

I am a deeply experienced corporate affairs leader across government relations, public policy, communications, social performance, community affairs and First Nations engagement. Unusually, I bring to a board the perspectives of having worked inside top companies in resources, energy and banking and inside government as a key advisor to a Prime Minister and Energy Minister. I have a long, deep personal interest in First Nations peoples. Whilst I don’t have direct director experience, I am qualified via AICD and INSEAD (France) and now desire to bring my local and international career experience to board roles. Throughout my successful career spanning 40+ years across in resources, energy, banking and government, I have achieved exceptional results as demonstrated in various executive and advisory roles. I have extensive commercial and community affairs experience in major projects on the ground and strategically in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia, and played a leadership role in co-ordinating Federal and State Government approvals of multi-billion dollar projects.
