Boman Group’s Advisory Board brings together business leaders with more than 140 years of combined experience across wealth management, investment, compliance, governance and cross-border markets. It is chaired by former MLC Australia CEO Geoff Lloyd, with members including Naseema Sparks AM, Peter McGregor and Paul Chin.

 

Professor Qin’s appointment further strengthens the Board’s capability in strategic communication, cross-cultural engagement and high-level stakeholder coordination, complementing the Group’s depth in financial and capital markets expertise.

Eric Gao, CEO of Boman Group, said: “We’ve long respected Professor Qin’s ability to ensure smooth cross-cultural communication and navigate the many nuances that exist within both Australia and China. His perspective at the intersection of language, culture and business will be invaluable as we continue to deepen our relationships across the region.”

“His appointment builds on the significant business experience contained in our Advisory Board and adds yet another dimension to it. Even the most sophisticated business model or expansion plan can come undone with poor communication,” Gao said.

“Professor Qin’s insights will help us refine how we communicate complex investment opportunities across jurisdictions, navigate sensitive cross-border discussions and continue to build trust with our clients and partners. As our business grows, having advisers who understand both the financial and cultural dimensions of international markets is critical.”

Commenting on the appointment, Professor Charles Qin OAM said: “I am honoured to join Boman Group’s Advisory Board at such a pivotal time in its growth. Boman’s ambition to build a truly global, values-driven investment platform strongly resonates with me.”

“In this role, I look forward to supporting Eric and the team as they deepen relationships with investors, partners and institutions across borders. By bringing together financial expertise with cultural insights, we can help ensure Boman’s expansion is not only commercially successful, but also grounded in trust, respect and long-term partnership.”

The news comes as Boman Group continues its strong growth trajectory, recently launching a fund aimed at tackling Australia’s housing crisis in partnership with JPCX. This follows the Group’s investments in leading global generative AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic as part of its Global Unicorn Fund.

Gao added: “We continue to leverage our experience and connections with China as a strategic advantage to address challenges both unique to Australia and shared across global markets. This is the first announcement in what will be another exciting year for Boman, as we hit key milestones and explore new opportunities around the world.”
