NBN Co has appointed board member Kevin Russell as interim chair, beginning on January 1, 2025. He will take over from Kate McKenzie at the Australian government-owned broadband provider.
In a statement, the government clarified that Russell’s interim appointment is intended to maintain continuity on the board until a permanent chair is selected.
Russell joined NBN as a director in April 2024, following his tenure as CEO of communications company Vocus, a role he held from 2018 until stepping down in early 2023.
McKenzie’s term concludes at the end of 2024. She initially joined NBN Co as a director in December 2019 and was appointed chair in January 2022.
In October, NBN Co appointed Ellie Sweeney as the new CEO on a five-year contract. Sweeney has previous experience as both CEO and COO at Vocus and spent over a decade with Telstra. She succeeds Stephen Rue, who resigned in May to take on the role of CEO at Optus.
