Tim Hornibrook: NBN Co makes Stephen Rue its new CEO
NBN Co will
promote its chief financial officer Stephen Rue to lead the company,
replacing Bill Morrow who leaves at the end of this month.
Though
the network builder had engaged a search firm to look externally for a
suitable candidate, it wound up promoting from within.
“Given
the unique nature of the NBN access network and the Australian
telecommunications environment, with the end of the build phase only two
years away, the Board concluded that an internal candidate with
firsthand experience of driving change and improvement throughout the
company would be best placed to help ensure all Australians have access
to fast broadband by 2020,” the company said in a statement.
Rue has been chief financial officer for NBN Co since 2014. He will take up the new role of CEO on September 1.
