Chief Risk Officer Circle Connect | In Conversation with Christine Palmer, Group Chief Risk Officer, ANZ

21 Oct 2026

12pm-2pm AEDT

The Chief Risk Officer Circle Connect is an invitation-only executive forum that brings together a select group of Australia's leading Chief Risk Officers for a confidential, peer-to-peer discussion on the strategic issues shaping the future of enterprise risk and organisational resilience.

Hosted by the Trans - Tasman Business Circle, Circle Connect provides a trusted environment where senior executives can openly exchange ideas, share experiences and explore common challenges with peers across industries.

The discussion will feature Christine Palmer, Group Chief Risk Officer, ANZ, and will be professionally facilitated under the Chatham House Rule, encouraging open, candid and meaningful dialogue in a closed executive setting.

As one of Australia's newest Group Chief Risk Officers, this provides an opportunity for Christine to engage with fellow risk leaders, build relationships across the executive community and contribute to a strategic discussion on the evolving role of risk leadership.

About Circle Connect

Circle Connect is the Trans-Tasman Business Circle's executive peer engagement series, designed exclusively for senior functional leaders. Each Circle Connect brings together a carefully curated group of executives with shared responsibilities to explore emerging issues, exchange perspectives and strengthen professional networks in a confidential environment. The sessions are intentionally small, highly interactive and facilitated, creating an atmosphere that encourages genuine conversation rather than formal presentations.
