Jillian Segal

Overview:

Jillian Segal is the president of the executive council of Australian Jewry. She studied law in Harvard university and holds executive and non-executive positions in certain Australian financial corporations.

Strategic Oversight over Research, Governance & Trade Orgs

As an ardent promoter of Zionism, Jilian Segal questionably holds vast influence over various private and governmental research & trade organisations. Among her positions, include:

Chairman of the Israel-Australia chamber commerce
Interestingly, Jillian simultaneously heads both the Australian “Garvan” medical research institute and the Israeli Weizman Institute of Science.
Board member of the Australian Grattan Institute and the multinational Dutch Rabobank bank
Chairman of the John Monash scholarship (a prestigious postgraduate scholarship for Australian scholars who wish to study overseas.) which has a looming influence in deciding over which Australian scholars can be nominated to study overseas
Past deputy chair of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission¹

In short, it appears that Segal has an active role in overseeing and controlling fields which affect Israeli science & trade interests in Australia.
