NBN CEO Stephen Rue to lead Optus

Coinciding with Rue’s appointment is the introduction of a new governance model.

Optus, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singtel, has tapped Stephen Rue, the CEO of Australia's National Broadband Network (NBN), to lead the company.

Until RUe comes on board, Michel Venter will continue as interim CEO of Optis.

Rue initially joined NBN in 2014 as Chief Financial Officer and ascended to the position of CEO in 2018.

Apart from appointing a new CEO, Optus also introduced a new governance model for the company.

Under the model, the Optus CEO and executive will report to the Optus Board. Rue will join the board, which includes Paul O’Sullivan, Yuen Kuan Moon, John Arthur, Lim Cheng Cheng and Michael Venter, and report to the chairman.

The board and executives will work together to reset strategy and rebuild customers' trust in the Optus brand.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
