Standards Australia has announced the appointment of Rod Balding as its new CEO.
Rod Balding joins Standards Australia with extensive experience in finance, commercial, and risk management sectors and significant contributions to the not-for-profit sector through his involvement with entities such as the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the Women’s Basketball World Cup, the Australian Sports Foundation, and Basketball Australia.
Standards Australia chair, Tracey Gramlick, said Rod possesses a genuine character and social purpose that aligns with the organisation’s values.
“Through our comprehensive selection process, we sought a leader who could not only meet our organisational goals but also harmonise with the exemplary efforts of our team. I am excited to welcome him to the team,” Gramlick said.
His appointment follows the unexpected resignation of Emma Harrington last month.
Harrington was in the CEO role for less than six months resigning to focus on new opportunities.
