A master of wearing different hats, Alison is also a chancellor at the University of Tasmania; director of The Centre for Independent Studies and the Business Council of Australia; and member of the Ministerial Advisory Panel for Low Emissions Technology.

As a leader, Alison has long spearheaded efforts towards gender equality and diversity when she was still with Coca-Cola Amatil. She encouraged other women in the business to speak out about salient women's issues. She also announced to the team that the Group Leadership at that time had already achieved 50:50 representation, with more than 30% of women in senior leadership positions.

Aside from leading the charge for women leaders, Alison is also passionate about creating eco-friendly business environments. She has forged partnerships with non-profits and foundations advocating for zero-waste initiatives that aim to change business for the good of the planet.
