Former BCA chief lands gig at Geoff Wilson’s Future Generation

Former Business Council chief executive Jennifer Westacott has been appointed chairwoman of the $460 million ASX-listed philanthropic vehicle Future Generation Global, and says she plans to use the role to push for more government incentives to encourage investment and giving.

Future Generation Global chief executive Caroline Gurney, who also runs the locally focused Future Generation Australia, said there was an opportunity to encourage investment in funds like theirs because of the government’s goal of doubling philanthropy by 2030.
