“You’ve shown dedication, resilience and curiosity, and those are the very qualities that will continue to bring you success in the future,” said Professor George.

In her opening address, Professor George encouraged graduates to reflect on the twists and turns that have led each of them here, to remember and thank the people who supported along the way, and to keep in touch with each other and with the School as alumni.

Professor Jenny George also delivered the opening remarks to graduates for the first time since becoming the Dean of Melbourne Business School late last year.

“You shouldn’t see that framed certificate as a trophy acknowledging the end of the line,” said Mr Gance. “It’s not a ribbon marking the end of the race. It’s new and improved starting blocks that you can now place at the start of a bigger race.”

He also shared the lessons he learnt from building a retail business, including the challenges of doing so while studying his MBA at Melbourne Business School.

During his speech, Damien talked about the importance of setting lofty goals, paying attention to details, learning from others and embracing the grind as the key to success.

This year’s guest speaker was 2008 MBA alumni Damien Gance, the Co-Founder and Director of Chemist Warehouse, one of Australia's largest pharmacy retail chains.
