No, my understanding was that it was under 19's only.

I work on the same floor as Ahmed, though he works on the other side of a secured bullet proof glass wall.

He caught me in the elevator once just after I had an operation on my foot, and made a few jokes about my footware (I was wearing a slipper).

He's 38 YO. His father used to be a cleaner for NAB, now he runs the joint.

He's exceptionally bright, able to quickly understand concepts and ideas and grow them. Probably not the best public speaker I've ever heard, but he does come across as "one of the boys" which instantly make people like him.

I've heard he doesn't suffer fools gladly though.

He would be an exceptional board member. I hope this comes to fruition.

Doubt it!!!!

I don't want anyone who builds ugly buildings...would like some more info on Ahmed though, please?

Mentions his carlton background.

Thank you

can we get him working on the Campo contract straight away.

"Well Scott. I'm afraid we can't go any higher than $0, spread over 0 years. Take it or leave it"

Tyrant, if we could get him, he'd be the recruit of the year.

And yep, thats exactly how he'd operate.

Buy ten memberships and hand them out to all the cool kids at your local primary school... a generation is born!

I read he has a 4 year contract with NAB which started in September last year. So unless he is prepared to give that up I cant see him moving onto the board. Unless he is prepared to do that.

Nooooo, that's Dr Hfuhurururrr (I think I got it)

sounds perfect then.

I read that Age article as well a while back. He has global experience as well, having spent some considerable time in New York (from memory).

I've never liked Pokies..... I don't know about these Pokies millionaires.... But I trust people in charge of Banks... thats a good wholesome profession

No... he'd do both like Collo does.

Is he eligible for the NRS?

NAB are apparently paying him 39 million over the 4 years to do it. Cant see them being to understanding and cant see him doing both.
Maybe he has told the club he has had enough of it.

Now, I might be a bit of a novice by business terms, but isn't this what top CEOs do? They have a fulltime gig but sit in various boards around the place in addition to their paying gig?

Collo is CEO of Telstra Dome AND Carlton president. I suspect Collo works long thankless hours as Telstra Dome chief..... and still puts in for Carlton. No reason why Ahmed couldn't do it either, if he wanted to.

Sitting on the boadr he could do. Taking over from Collins I dont think he could do until his contract with NAB was up (another 3 years). We need some changes on the board and a Carlton supporter like him with his business acumen and contacts.
