For Anastasia Crisafi — once an aspiring filmmaker — a career in finance was simply her 'plan B'. Well, what a backup plan it's turned out to be — with formative roles at Ernst & Young, Coles Group, and over a decade with Link Group, Anastasia is now the CFO of UniSuper. She has built a reputation for transforming teams, navigating complex transactions, and leading with authenticity. Now overseeing finance and corporate services at one of Australia's largest super funds, she’s passionate about purpose-driven work, diversity of thought, and creating cultures where people thrive.

Anastasia joined Atlas Director, Liam Killen for our Pathways Podcast to reflect on the lessons, leadership shifts, and sliding door moments that shaped her journey — and why surrounding yourself with stars might just be the smartest move a leader can make.
