A finance expert with a “focus on advancing government social financing initiatives” is the new Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC) CEO.
State Treasurer David Janetzki said Simon Ling would start in the role on July 1 and bring a fresh perspective to the QTC, which is the Government’s central financing authority.
Treasurer Janetzki said with more than 25 years’ experience in finance, banking and treasury management, Mr Ling would excel at managing the State’s funding program and balance sheet for public sector clients.
“Simon brings decades of experience in banking, government financing and treasury management, including leading high-performing teams in New York, London and Sydney,” he said.
“His global leadership experience is critical as we target budget improvement.”
Mr Ling’s LinkedIn profile states his career was defined by a steadfast commitment to leveraging his financial, strategic, and management expertise to deliver resilient, sustainable solutions that created lasting impact across the public and private sectors.
He stated he was focussed on advancing government social financing initiatives and empowering the private sector to drive sustainable agriculture.
“It’s a privilege to join such a high-calibre team, and I’m energised by the opportunity to help shape resilient, sustainable solutions that deliver long-term impact for Queensland,” Mr Ling said.
QTC Chair Damien Frawley said Mr Ling would focus on positioning QTC as a world-leading financial partner to Government.
“The Board is confident Simon’s leadership will enable QTC to effectively capitalise on the significant financial opportunities that lie ahead for Queensland,” Mr Frawley said.
