ICAEW Insights In Focus: Lessons in leadership from ICAEW's CEO

In this special bonus episode of Insights In Focus, we meet new ICAEW CEO Alan Vallance to discuss the leadership lessons of his career. 

Alan is an ICAEW Chartered Accountant and joined the Institute as CEO in April 2024. His career has spanned various sectors and countries, as well as detailed experience in leading membership bodies RIBA and the Chartered Insurance Institute in recent years.

In this conversation with Philippa Lamb, Vallance shares how his career journey has shaped his approach to leadership – from qualifying as an ACA at Ernst & Whinney (now EY) to working in post-Soviet Hungary and his 15 years with Australia Post at a time of early digitalisation.
