Ernst & Young has announced the appointment of Monash University Deputy Vice Chancellor, Professor Stephanie Fahey as its Oceania Education Lead Partner based in Canberra.

Professor Fahey joins Ernst & Young after a distinguished academic career, which more recently has included responsibility for Monash University’s international education and research programs.

Ernst & Young’s Oceania Government leader, Jim Birch, says Professor Fahey will bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to Ernst & Young.

Professor Fahey’s appointment aligns with Ernst & Young’s expansion of its education practice to include an increased focus on the early and secondary education sectors as well as a continued focus on the higher education sector.

“We are delighted to have Professor Fahey join us at a time when we are expanding the scope of our practice,” Birch said. “Under her leadership, we will be building on our already comprehensive expertise in the higher education sector through the creation of a national practice that encompasses all levels of education,” he said.
