Standards Australia has appointed a new CEO, Emma Harrington following a wide search and exhaustive recruitment process.
Harrington has held senior leadership roles with organisations including NRMA, Foxtel, Yahoo7 and Seven West Media.
“Emma is a dynamic executive leader with an extensive background in strategy innovation and transformation, and is thrilled to join our organisation and continue the transformation program already begun by our current CEO Adrian O'Connell,” said Standards Australia chair Tracey Gramlick.
“Adrian has had a long and successful career with Standards Australia. He and his leadership team have built the foundations of a more customer-focused organisation that is delivering even greater value to the Australian community.”
Gramlick said the Board thanked O’Connell for his enormous contribution to Standards Australia over 18 years’ service to the organisation, including five years as CEO.
