Alex Malley, FCPA, believes that effective leaders possess the courage to fail in order to meet a vision. This has been the driving force behind his successful career and remains so as the Chief Executive of CPA Australia; the largest accounting body in Australia.

Responsible for 19 offices globally and more than 144,000 members in 127 countries, Alex was recently one of only two Australians to be included on The Accountant publication’s list of the world’s top 50 most influential people in the accounting profession.

Addressing leadership matters is something he has always taken very seriously. As host of the television series The Bottom Line, screened nationally on the Nine Network Australia, Alex brings these issues into sharp focus through interviews with fellow leaders from business, politics and the community. The interview he conducted with the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong, was the most substantive ever filmed.

Alex fronts CPA Australia's online community and reality series for students, The Naked CEO, and is a regular business commentator on Australia’s nationally syndicated programs The Money News on 2GB and Sky News Business.

Alex serves on a number of councils, boards and government sector committees including the International Integrated Reporting Council domiciled in London.

From suspended schoolboy to CEO, Alex always does what he believes in.
