London | Former foreign minister Julie Bishop has added another high-flying corporate gig to her post-political dance card, with The Australian Financial Review Rich Lister Lex Greensill hiring her as a strategic adviser for his eponymous finance firm's push into Asia.

Ms Bishop has taken the non-executive role of chairman of Greensill Asia-Pacific, giving Mr Greensill and his $6 billion supply-chain finance behemoth door-opening clout as he looks to break into new markets like China and India.
