Semisi Biumaiwa

Semisi Biumaiwai is a seasoned HR practitioner, with almost two decades of combined experience in the government and private sector. He started working with the then Fiji Revenue & Customs Authority following the completion of his tertiary studies at the University of the South Pacific. After just over six years, he joined the ANZ Bank and spent the majority of his time in Fiji with stints across the Pacific, from Guam to Timor Leste to the Solomon Islands. His career has covered the breadth of the HR field, from the traditional personnel-type functions like pay and benefits on the one hand to more intensive and challenging duties like policy drafting and review, union negotiations and ER-related matters on the other. He is a firm believer that people are vital to the sustained success of any organization, and that culture and leadership are key in harnessing potential. Before being appointed to FDB in October 2021, he was the Senior Talent and Culture Business Partner at ANZ.
