CONNOR BENNETT

Connor brings a wealth of experience from both the mining and financial sectors to his role as Head of Business Operations at OakView Financial. He began his career in the mining industry as a FIFO (Fly-In Fly-Out) Administration Officer, where his exceptional efficiency and meticulous attention to detail quickly earned him expanded responsibilities in contract and project management. Over four years, Connor played a pivotal role in assisting project managers with multi-million dollar projects, showcasing his adaptability and leadership potential.

Seeking a more stable and community-focused career, Connor transitioned into the financial planning industry. He started at a financial planning firm as a Client Services Officer, where his dedication and proficiency led to considerations for a training role. However, recognising the significant impact he could have on clients’ financial well-being, Connor chose to pursue the path of a Financial Planner.

With seven years of experience in the financial services industry, Connor has advanced his professional development by earning a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a specialisation in Data-Driven Leadership. This advanced qualification, combined with his Diploma of Financial Planning (DFP) and extensive industry knowledge, equips him with the skills to lead and manage an organisation’s data resources and innovation capabilities.

Outside the office, Connor is an avid outdoor enthusiast. He finds joy in riding motorbikes, playing golf, and camping, often preferring the serenity of the outdoors over indoor settings. This passion for nature not only provides balance in his life but also fuels his innovative thinking and leadership approach.
