Medibank (MPL) CEO Craig Drummond is stepping down from his role on June 30, marking the end of five years with the company.
Before his departure, Drummond says the company will continue to focus on working to deliver more preventative healthcare, short stay programs, clinical homecare and access to virtual care, such as telehealth.
”Pleasingly, Medibank is on a clear strategic path to grow the private health insurance business at a faster rate and continue the transformation into a broader healthcare company,” Drummond said.
“’I could not have been blessed with a more competent executive leadership team or supportive board,” he continued.
Medibank Chairman Mike Wilkins praised Drummond for his contribution.
“Craig has done a wonderful job in leading and transforming Medibank. He will leave the company in a much stronger position, on a clear strategic path, with a great team. This is the mark of outstanding leadership,” Mike said.
Investors appear to be wary about the management shake-up, with Medibank shares closing 3.36 per cent lower at $2.79.
