Bolton Clarke has announced the appointment of Mr Olivier Chretien as Group Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 July 2025.
Chairman Tony Crawford said Mr Chretien’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for Bolton Clarke and the aged care sector, as the organisation prepares for the commencement of the new Aged Care Act and responds to the needs of a growing ageing population.
“Olivier is a well-respected CEO and executive with significant national and international leadership experience across hospital, care, retail, and service industries,” Mr Crawford shared.
“His track record at organisations such as InvoCare, Ramsay Health Care, Wesfarmers, and Boston Consulting Group makes him uniquely qualified to lead Bolton Clarke into its next chapter,” Mr Crawford added.
Mr Chretien said he was “humbled and thrilled” to be joining Bolton Clarke as it celebrates 140 years of providing care to Australians.
“I look forward to working with our 16,000 team members to continue growing sustainably, leveraging technology, innovation, and partnerships to benefit customers, employees, and communities.”
