‘I’m a very greedy person’: Russell Goward before the fall
AFR Classic | Russell Goward was corporate raider Ron Brierley’s chief executive before he went out on his own. Joseph Dowling interviewed him in London in August 1987 before the fall.
“I’m young, I’m hungry, I’m lean, and I do nothing but work, seven days a week,” said Russell Goward, the 33-year-old millionaire chairman of diversified investment group Westmex Ltd.
“I’m also a very greedy person,” he admitted, explaining that he resigned as managing director of Industrial Equity Ltd late in 1985 because he could not acquire the wealth he wanted through working as a salaried employee.
