Patrick Langrell

Patrick is Director of the Governance and Public Affairs Centre (GPAC) at the Australian Catholic University. For the past two years, he has been collaborating with business and university leaders, politicians, and NGO heads in the US, UK, EU and Australia – across the political and ideological spectrum – on the positive role corporations can play in addressing polarisation and social division around issues of public interest.

He is also convenor of the Executive Forum, a series of roundtable discussions - under Chatham House Rule - with business leaders that encourages a more measured and depolarising approach to corporate governance and social engagement. Combined with his academic background and teaching experience in philosophy, he has previously worked in several roles at home and abroad bringing ethical and strategic thinking to bear on a range of social, political, and cultural issues.
