High-level government executive Robyn Seymour has signed on as Surf Coast Shire Council’s new chief executive officer (CEO) for five years.
On July 12 Ms Seymour will replace interim CEO Anne Howard, who took over after Keith Baillie left the role in July 2020.
“I’m really looking forward to moving to the Surf Coast Shire, a region I love and have been keen to make my home,” Ms Seymour said.
“I’m passionate about delivering outcomes and value to the community and I look forward to working with the team at the council to ensure we are meeting community needs.”
Surf Coast mayor Libby Stapleton welcomed Ms Seymour, who currently leads a team of 400 at Road Safety Victoria and worked previously as CEO of VicRoads.
“Robyn has extensive leadership and management experience across several roles,” Cr Stapleton said.
“She has a proven track record of managing and delivering complex initiatives and projects, and I know she will be committed in leading the organisation to help our community and environment to thrive.”
