AUB Group CFO Jodie Blackledge has resigned to pursue career opportunities “outside the insurance industry”.

Ms Blackledge was appointed in 2015 following the retirement of Steve Rouvray, having previously been CFO of The Trust Company.

In a note to the Australian Securities Exchange, AUB says she will serve six months’ notice to enable an “orderly handover”.

“An external search will be undertaken to find her replacement,” the statement says.
