From Edinburgh to Melbourne’s sporting heart. For Julie Struthers, GM of Finance at the State Sports Centres Trust, it’s been a career defined by curiosity, transformation and purpose. In this episode of Game Changers, Julie reflects on her journey from chartered accounting in Scotland to executive leadership across banking, finance transformation and now high-performance sport.
She shares how a phone call in London set her on a path to Australia, the lessons learned building teams and saving over 100,000 hours at NAB, and why aligning work with personal values became her ultimate career pivot.
Julie also opens up about leadership, building flexible workplaces, and the power of using finance “superpowers” for good — ensuring more Victorians can access world-class sporting facilities.
