Australia Post announces Woolworths executive as its new CEO after Cartier watch scandal
Australia Post has appointed Woolworths Group executive Paul Graham as its new CEO following the Cartier watch scandal involving former top boss Christine Holgate.
The national postal service announced Mr Graham’s appointment on Monday morning.
‘Australia Post has proven itself to be one of the most resilient and successful postal businesses anywhere in the world,’ Mr Graham said.
‘I feel fortunate to be joining at a time when we can truly capitalise on the extraordinary growth in eCommerce experienced in the past year and continue developing our retail and digital offerings while keeping letter deliveries strong.
‘I am most looking forward to meeting the team across the country – the Posties, post office workers, mail processors and delivery drivers that kept our country operating during COVID-19.’
Mr Graham, who has been the chief supply chain officer at Woolworths for the past five years, said he is looking forward to ‘getting out into regional Australia’ and meeting with thousands of Post Office licensee partners who ‘play a critical role every day serving the country.’
More to come.
