Brendon Gale stepping down as CEO at the end of this year

[Go Richo 12]

Shane Dunne got the nod

Hopefully his first job is to tell the president that he has been rubbish all year.

What's his background abd experience like ?

Been at the club for 6 years as managing director of Aligned Leisure and the Richmond Institute

I wish Shane all the best I really do. I must admit a question why we haven't appointed someone with significant experience. I guess Benny only had AFLPA CEO gig previously but yeah an internal appointment comes with some questions that lack clarity around why we have done this rather than external.

Hope it all works out and good luck to him.

[Tiger Khosh]

Not a fan of another internal appointment. Hopefully proves me way off the mark.

 We need someone to put the plan together and implement it, not a box ticker, we are rebuilding on and off the field and we need great planning and strong leadership .
No idea who this bloke is .

[TigerLand]

Trying to be positive but we have a really important period over the next 4 years to get right like Hawthorn have or run the risk of being an Essendon or North for 4-8 years.

I'll stick with being positive that with so much change in 2 years a known figure as CEO does have positives.

[Simonator]

Seems to be young. I like the new faces and everyone being able to grow together, but we must have some experienced leadership like balmey

Me neither but we need to get someone of that ilk ASAP

Quite funny

I actually have met Shane a number of times over the years

But when I read Frankie's post my initial reaction was who?

Then when I checked out the link above and saw the pic, I thought I know him

I've always just known him as Shane, no clue about his surname LOL

From what I know , to me it's a good appointment

CEO’s normally have a presence that you don’t forget. Doesn’t sound like he fits that brief.

[Tiger Khosh]

To go from vfl runner to club CEO is one hell of a leap.

Don’t let anyway tell you the RFC doesn’t offer career progression lol

Really just because I didn't know his surname he "doesn't fit the brief"

Outside of working in membership, he's been involved in sponsorship and marketing and top end coteries (benefactors)

It's a good appointment IMHO

It's just disappointing the Club hasn't officially announced it

[Hart4Jack]

The club will announce it when they think it's appropriate . Which imo is quite ok.

I guess they think the best time is after our season is finished.  Again I'm OK with that.

You said “When I read it, i said who?”. So no, that doesn’t fit the brief. Great CEO’s cut through. Even when they are building toward the top job. You’re just rubber stamping that view.

[Damo]

Club still to announce it
But this forum knows ??

Now remember .. we don’t leak anymore
