Simon Vincent McKeon (born 19 December 1955) is an Australian lawyer, businessman, philanthropist, and sportsman. He has been chancellor of Monash University, and non-executive director of Rio Tinto, Spotless Group, and National Australia Bank. He is retained by Macquarie Bank Melbourne as a consultant and is a fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (FAICD). On 25 January 2011 he was named the 2011 Australian of the Year.[1]

Business

After completing a Bachelor of Commerce in 1976 and Bachelor of Laws in 1978, both at the University of Melbourne,[citation needed] Simon McKeon practised law in Sydney with Blake Dawson Waldron before taking up a post with the Macquarie Bank,[citation needed] where he became the Executive Chairman (Melbourne Office).[2] He was Founding President of the statutory dispute resolution body for Australian public company takeovers, the Australian Takeovers Panel from 1999– 2010. He was also the Chairman of software specialist MYOB LTD 2006–2009.[3] McKeon was chairman of CSIRO from June 2010 until 2015, replacing Dr John Stocker.[3] McKeon was appointed to the AMP Limited Board on 27 March 2013 and subsequently appointed Chairman of AMP on 8 May 2014, replacing Peter Mason. On 26 April 2016 he announced his intention to resign from the AMP board at the conclusion of the AGM in May.[4] McKeon is a fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and is a member of the AICD Chairman's Forum and is the inaugural President of the Australian banking industry's Review Panel for the Banking and Financing oath.[citation needed] He volunteered as a counsellor for heroin addicts at the First Step Clinic in St Kilda.[5]

Destruction of Juukan Gorge sacred site

McKeon was one of the Directors of Rio Tinto in May 2020 when the mining company deliberately destroyed the Australian Aboriginal sacred site at Juukan Gorge - the only inland site in Australia to show signs of continuous human occupation for over 46,000 years.

Following his role in the controversy and its aftermath, McKeon was promoted from Independent Director to Senior Independent Director, with an accompanying $80,000 pay rise.[6]

Academia

In October 2015, it was announced that McKeon would succeed Dr Alan Finkel as Chancellor of Monash University in January 2016.[7] He has been a part-time lecturer with Melbourne University's Masters of Applied Finance and Masters of Laws courses and has been a member of the Advisory Board of the University's Centre for Energy and Resources Law. He served on the Campaign Board of the University of Melbourne from 2013 until 2015.

In October 2015, McKeon was conferred an honorary Doctorate of Public Health by La Trobe University.

Honours

On 25 January 2011, McKeon was named the 2011 Australian of the Year.[citation needed]

On 11 June 2012, McKeon was named an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for "distinguished service to business and commerce through leadership and advisory roles, and to the community as a supporter of national and international charitable, educational and sporting organisations."[8]

In 2014, McKeon, along with Harry Messel, was awarded the Australian Academy of Science's Academy Medal, which recognises scientific contributions other than research.[9]
