ROSS TAYLOR
Chief Executive Officer
Ross Taylor joined Fletcher Building as CEO on 22 November 2017. Previously, Ross was CEO of UGL, an international engineering, services, construction and product manufacturing business, operating across the rail, transport and technology systems, power, resources, water and defence sectors, and headquartered in Australia. Prior to this he was managing director and CEO of Tenix, a privately held engineering and construction services company and held senior leadership roles at Lendlease across a 23-year period. Ross has proven experience leading business turnarounds and improving performance and shareholder returns and has direct experience across a range of Fletcher Building’s core sectors, including housing, manufacturing and construction. Ross holds a Bachelor of Engineering from the University of Queensland.
A simpler, leaner decentralised operating model was introduced on 1 July 2018. This included a new divisional structure that aligned our individual businesses to our new strategic priorities. These changes resulted in a number of new appointments to the Fletcher Building executive team, which were also effective from 1 July 2018. The executive team is comprised of proven performers with deep experience in their industries and functional disciplines and will provide strong leadership as we progress our new strategy. FOCUS
