Westpac’s chief economist Luci Ellis’ sliding doors moment
It is rare people can point to a single, pivotal, life-changing moment but Westpac’s chief economist Luci Ellis can point to two 30 years apart that have shaped her career.
The fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 set in motion a chain of events that shaped the rest of former Reserve Bank assistant governor and Westpac chief economist Luci Ellis’ life.
Then a 19-year-old University of Melbourne economics student, Ellis was paying her way as a student living in a Fitzroy share house by working in a stamp and coin shop.
