AJFN appoints Daniel Ross as Treasurer and bids a heartfelt farewell to Nir Golan after five years of dedicated service.
The Australian Jewish Fertility Network (AJFN), welcomes Daniel Ross to its Board as Treasurer, following Nir Golan’s five-year tenure.
Farewell and thank you, Nir Golan
AJFN bids a warm and heartfelt farewell to Nir Golan, whose connection to the organisation stretches back to 2021, when he first joined as a board observer. Recognising his commitment and expertise, AJFN invited Nir to take on the formal role of Treasurer in 2023, a natural progression that reflected the board’s trust and confidence in him.
Over the years that followed, Nir made an indelible contribution to AJFN’s growth and direction. He was instrumental in guiding the organisation through the development and execution of its three-year strategic plan, a foundational roadmap that has shaped AJFN’s expanded programs, financial sustainability and community reach. Nir also played a key role in AJFN’s expansion into Melbourne, helping to bring the organisation’s vital support services to Jewish families in Victoria.
“I want to express my deepest gratitude and respect for Nir. He has been a constant source of wisdom, integrity and care. On a personal level, it has been a privilege to work alongside someone who brings such sincerity, sensitivity, thoughtfulness and dedication to everything he does. Nir is a true mensch, and his contribution to AJFN has been both meaningful and enduring. We will miss him greatly, and we wish him and his family every happiness as they begin this exciting new chapter making aliyah.”
— Kerry Gonski, Chair, AJFN
Welcoming Daniel Ross
Daniel brings to AJFN a breadth of financial and commercial expertise. He began his career at PwC, working across Audit and Transaction Services, before building a hybrid accounting and legal services business that was sold in 2025. Now consulting privately, Daniel draws on deep experience in executive leadership, finance, governance and operations to support organisations through periods of growth and change. He is a Chartered Accountant and joins AJFN’s board at an exciting and formative time for the organisation.
AJFN Chair Kerry Gonski welcomed Daniel’s appointment warmly:
“We are delighted to welcome Daniel. He brings a rare combination of expertise, experience, communal connection, and a genuine commitment to purpose-driven impact in this space. As AJFN enters an exciting new phase of growth and strategic delivery, I very much look forward to working alongside him, and I know he will be a wonderful addition to our Board and the wider AJFN family.”
— Kerry Gonski, Chair, AJFN
The board transition takes effect immediately.
