Staff

Adele Webb

Executive Director

Adele joined Jubilee Australia in 2006, taking on the role of Executive Director in 2008. She combines academic qualifications in law and comparative development with experience working with civil society in the Philippines, South Africa and Malawi. Adele has a particular interest in critically examining the political and economic causes for the persistence of poverty in much of the Global South today. She is driven and inspired by the dedication of the many people and organisations in the Global South who are fighting for the right to develop fully.

Carmelan Polce

Deputy Director

Carmelan joined Jubilee Australia in September 2011 following a lengthy career in banking and finance, during which time she also established, consulted to and managed a range of not-for-profit organisations. Her finance career took a decided step off the beaten track in 2008 when she took a career break from the finance industry to work on Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. That position opened the door to a two-year role working with the US Democratic Party. In addition to her extensive knowledge and experience in the finance industry, advocacy and politics, Carmelan brings to Jubilee Australia a passion for social justice and a determination to build upon the considerable successes to date and to enhance the long term sustainability of the work.
