Nicola Stokes

Nicola Stokes is General Manager, AMP Foundation and a Director of Curing Homesickness Limited.

Nicola has held national and international leadership positions as CEO, senior executive, and director. With a track record in the banking, financial services and for purpose arenas, Nicola believes that developing partnerships which result in increased market share or revenue, in addition to operational excellence, are key capabilities for any executive. Nicola practices a leadership philosophy with positive psychology at its core as a way of creating environments within which individuals and ideas thrive.  Nicola thrives in the complexity of positive and intelligent engagement with a variety of competing stakeholders, while effectively balancing the positive tension between relationship driven and governance focussed organisations. Nicola is a graduate of Monash University Melbourne, INSEAD and AICD. When not focussing her energies in the for purpose sector, Nicola runs a merino sheep farm, with her husband George, in the southern table lands of NSW.
