Professor Jameson currently serves as Head of the Department of Applied Finance and Actuarial Studies and Director of the Macquarie University Applied Finance Centre. He is a member of the Advisory Council of the Centre for International Finance and Regulation (CIFR), and Chair of the Benchmarks Committee of the Australian Financial Markets Association (AFMA). He is also, a Trustee of CEDA – the Committee for Economic Development of Australia, and a Director of SIRCA Limited.

Professor Jameson has extensive experience across a range of financial and investment organisations at Board and senior management level in Australia and around the world, and will provide excellent guidance and stewardship of the Faculty whilst arrangements for its long-term leadership are considered over the coming months.
