The Board of Catholic Church Insurance (CCI) has appointed Mr Rob Scenna to take over the position of Chief Executive Officer from Peter Rush who is retiring.

Chairman of the board, Paul Gallagher, made the announcement yesterday evening, 17 August 2015, following a CCI board meeting.

Rob will take up his appointment on 21 September 2015.

From 2001 until 2014, Rob worked in management roles with the ANZ Banking Group, most recently as Managing Director of ANZ Trustees until that business was sold in 2014. Since then, he has been in a private consulting practice.

‘Rob’s background in the financial services industry and his capability in strategic planning will complement well the existing competencies of the senior management of CCI,’ Gallagher said.

Following Rob’s appointment, Peter Rush will continue to be involved in the business until the end of 2015, during which time he will assist with Rob’s transition to the role.

‘On behalf of my fellow directors, I thank Peter for his outstanding contribution to CCI and wish him well for the future,’ Gallagher said.
