Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) has appointed Rohan Lund as its new Managing Director and CEO, marking a leadership reset following its merger with Seven West Media.
Lund will step into the role from May 1, after joining the SCA Board as a Non-Executive Director earlier this month.
The appointment follows the departure of former CEO Jeff Howard in February, shortly after the company completed its merger with Seven West Media.
“The Board is pleased to appoint Rohan as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the company,” Chairman Heith Mackay-Cruise said.
“Rohan brings deep media experience, digital and technology‑enabled transformation capability, and values‑driven leadership skills.
“He has led complex organisations through significant change, while maintaining a strong focus on culture, trust and long‑term value creation. The Board is looking forward to working with Rohan to achieve our strategic objectives.”
Lund most previously worked as Group CEO of the NRMA from 2016-2025. Prior to that, he served in senior executive leadership roles at a number of high-profile companies, including COO at Foxtel, Group COO at Seven West Media, Yahoo!7’s founding CEO and Chief Strategy Officer at Singtel Optus.
“Southern Cross Media Group is one of Australia’s most important media businesses, with great talent, content and impressive scale and reach across television, audio, digital and publishing,” Lund added.
“I am excited to work with the Board and leadership team to accelerate our digital and operational transformation and continue to strengthen our culture and performance in the interests of our shareholders, partners and people.”
