MELBOURNE, Australia - June 29, 2015 - PRLog -- La Trobe Financial has announced the appointment of former NBA player and two time Olympian, Chris Anstey as Company Ambassador who will work alongside existing Company Ambassador, 5 time winter Olympian Jacqui Cooper.

Anstey stated on his appointment, “As an elite athlete, there are many challenges and hurdles, but it takes commitment, persistence, performance and excellence to make goals happen, and it’s no different in funds management or any business.” Chris Anstey at 7’ tall is an imposing athlete and known for his straight talking style. He plays an important role for the company in attending conferences and professional development days speaking on overcoming challenges. Anstey in addition to having a stellar career in the NBA was also a 3 time NBL Champion (twice as captain), two time Olympian - has experienced high level success throughout his career and learnt the importance of team culture and leadership in many different environments and countries around the world. “This has relevance for organisations which are already or wanting to operate internationally and build winning teams in different countries – the fundamentals of successful teams never changes,” said Anstey.

La Trobe Financial operates an office in Shanghai, China and basketball is a strong brand proposition in that country as Anstey has played against Yao Ming. Anstey also has a strong philosophy of helping others achieve and realise their dreams. “I decided to join forces with La Trobe Financial because of its commitment to helping others and I am very happy to play a pivotal role in promoting the company’s brand.”

La Trobe Financial’s President & CEO, Greg O’Neill said, “We are delighted to welcome Chris Anstey to the La Trobe Financial team. Chris, along with Jacqui Cooper, will bring inspiration to our 150 employees and valued clients. Chris proves that you can really achieve your goals with determination, strength and perseverance. His experience as an elite athlete will be invaluable and play a significant part in promoting our company’s brand and values.”

La Trobe Financial also strongly believes more companies should employ elite athletes. O’Neill said, “Organisations need high-performers to help them succeed. Elite athletes are highly motivated and determined individuals. The skills and qualities that have enabled them to achieve in sport also provide them with excellent transferable skills and qualities that could provide organisations with a competitive edge. Our experience is there are many benefits to employing an elite athlete that can have a positive effect on the work environment. Some of the skills athletes can bring to the work place are dedication, teamwork, leadership, motivation, ability to perform under pressure, and resilience. Furthermore, elite athletes can also have a positive impact on their work colleagues through sharing stories and experiences, and providing inspiration.”
