BlueScope Chairman Graham Kraehe AO will retire from the Board on 19 November 2015. He will be replaced by John Bevan, currently a non-executive director of the company.
Incoming chairperson Bevan congratulated Kraehe on his long and distinguished career in leading roles in corporate Australia. “Graham has been a great conviction businessman, passionately arguing for economic reform to improve Australia’s overall competitiveness. He has led some great Australian companies, and as Chairman of BlueScope he led the Board and management through some difficult times, and major restructuring which has returned the Company to profitability post the global financial crisis. All of us wish him well in his retirement.”
