Oracle Group Australia (OG) has announced a significant leadership transition, as Matthew Denehy assumes the role of director for strategic growth and acquisitions.
In light of this new responsibility, Denehy will step down from his current position as managing director (MD), making way for Jane Martin to succeed him as MD.
Denehy, who has spearheaded the executive team over the past five years, played a pivotal role in steering OG's growth from $45 million to $175 million in gross written premiums (GWP). This growth trajectory was fuelled by the rapid expansion of the authorised representative (AR) network, a successful acquisition strategy, and capacity building under the guidance of the executive team.
The decision to appoint Martin reflects the acknowledgment of her effective leadership and achievements since joining OG in 2018.
Martin's operational and culture-centric approach positions her to guide the business towards a future marked by strategic growth. This aligns with OG's commitment to advancing its AR Model, fostering an environment conducive for ARs to flourish.
Working with OG general manager Carl Rumble and the expanding operational management team, Martin will focus on establishing an optimal operational framework.
“There is still a lot of work to be done to build our capacity and infrastructure, but growth is part of our DNA and must continue,” Martin said. “I am delighted that Matthew has agreed to relinquish his managing director role and take up this new critical growth role. This will enable Oracle Group to enhance its focus on our strategic growth trajectory.”
