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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
