This week, we welcome Louise Herron AM, CEO of the Sydney Opera House, who talks about the multiple cultural leadership considerations of running the most iconic building in Australia. We were privileged to speak with Louise following the celebrations of the SOH’s 50th anniversary (she also oversaw its 40th).
Louise talks about politics, stakeholder management, and the new strategic vision just launched for the opera house. She discusses her journey in arts leadership following a successful career as a lawyer, working in investment banking and as a corporate adviser. Taking us through her eye-wateringly busy schedule, Louise says how she could hardly sleep for the first year running the opera house - such was her excitement at its possibilities.
