About Myles Baron-Hay
 | Originally from Perth, Myles is an engineer with sixteen years experience in the financial services industry who in 2003 was appointed Chief Executive of the Sydney Swans.
Clearly a diverse background, Myles has been Chief Executive or Managing Director of companies in three different industries – commercial construction, funds management and now sports administration. He has been responsible for operations throughout the Asia Pacific region.
