Michelle Jablko Appointed as CEO of Australia's Largest Toll Road Operator, Transurban

The largest toll road operator in Aust ralia, Transurban, has named Michelle Jablko as its next Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This hiring comes as departing CEO Scott Charlton gets ready to step down in October and follows her three-year stint as the company's Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

ANZ's five years as CFO are part of Michelle Jablko's vast expertise, which also includes more than 20 years in investment banking and commercial law. Her hiring increases the current total of six female CEOs among Australia's top 20 firms. Vicki Brady at Telstra, Leah Weckert at Coles, and Fiona Hick at Fortescue Metals are a few notable recent recruits.

Michelle expressed her appreciation for being chosen as Transurban's next CEO and stated, "I'm thrilled to be appointed as Transurban's next CEO and I don't take the trust placed in me by the Board lightly." She emphasised her commitment to meeting the requirements of these changing urban areas while praising the existing team's devotion and their good influence on Australian and American cities.

Michelle’s leadership abilities, financial savviness, and transactional competence were praised by Chairman Craig Drummond. I have no doubt that she will be a great leader for this next stage of Transurban's expansion because to her mix of abilities and experience, he said.

Transurban has undergone a significant change with Michelle Jablko's promotion to CEO, which continues the trend of more women holding executive positions in Australia's business sector.
