 14 Million Connections. 14 Million Stories. Backing Australian Ambition. 

Behind every connection is a story, and Tan Kueh's is one of curiosity, openness and embracing different perspectives.

Born in Hong Kong and raised in Australia, Tan has built an extraordinary global career spanning law, investment banking, private banking and asset management, holding senior leadership roles across Sydney, New York, Beijing and Hong Kong.

Today, she is focused on helping shape Australia's future by empowering more women to invest with confidence and deploy their capital in ways that create lasting impact across communities, society and the nation.

But at the heart of Tan's story is a belief in the power of people, lifelong learning and remaining open to the world around us.

As she says: "If we continue to embrace tolerance, openness and curiosity, Australia has an opportunity to truly stand out in the world."

Her story is a reminder that one of Australia's greatest strengths is our ability to bring together different perspectives, build meaningful connections and use them to create impact at home and around the world.

Story 5 of 14. Over 14 days, we're celebrating 14 extraordinary Australians whose journeys showcase Australian ambition and the power of our global connections.

Because when Australians back Australians, extraordinary things happen.

Go further together.
