Executive appointments

A number of appointments were made to the University Executive in 2019 to replace departing Executive staff and to reflect the evolving strategic priorities of the University.

In May 2019, Professor Sally Wheeler OBE was appointed Pro Vice-Chancellor (International Strategy) with responsibility for the development and implementation of the academically-led international strategy for the University. Professor Wheeler’s Pro Vice-Chancellor appointment is 0.4 FTE, and she retains the role of Dean of the ANU College of Law 0.6 FTE.

Associate Professor Royston Gustavson was appointed Acting Pro Vice-Chancellor (Education) to replace Professor Grady Venville who was appointed Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic). Associate Professor Gustavson reports to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) and leads the enhancement of quality and standards in education, including innovation in program delivery and development.

In June, the Vice-Chancellor appointed the Chief of Staff and Director of the Office of the Vice-Chancellor, Mr Christopher Price, to the role of advisory member of the ANU Executive, while in July Professor Tony Foley was appointed Interim Pro Vice-Chancellor (University Experience) until the recruitment process for a permanent head of the University Experience portfolio is finalised. The Pro Vice-Chancellor (University Experience) leads the strategies to promote student and staff equity, Indigenous Reconciliation and improve the quality of the student experience.

In September 2019, we farewelled long serving Chief Operating Officer Mr Chris Grange, and appointed Mr Paul Duldig as his successor. Mr Duldig joined ANU from the University of Melbourne and brings a wealth of experience in the university sector.

More information about the Key Management Personnel, as distinct from the University Executive, is provided in Financial Statements.
