Embattled telecommunications giant Optus has named former National Broadband Network boss Stephen Rue as its next chief executive.
Mr Rue, who has worked for the NBN Co. since 2014, first as chief financial officer and later as chief executive , replaces Kelly Bayer Rosmarin , who quit the top job at Optus in November after a network-wide outage earlier that month and a cyber attack in 2022.
“His experience in setting up the digital backbone of Australia will serve us well as we reinvigorate Optus as Australia’s leading challenger telecommunications brand,” Mr O’Sullivan. Mr Rue expressed that taking care of Optus’ customers, people and business would be his priority in the position. NBN Co’s chief financial officer Philip Knox will serve as interim chief executive until a permanent replacement is found, its board advised on Monday.
