Corporate Travel Management Limited announced the appointment of former long-term Tatts executive and Chief Financial Officer, Neale O’Connell, to the role of Global CFO, effective 9 July 2019. Mr. O’Connell has a strong track record in listed company financial management and corporate transactions, built over a 25-year career in senior finance roles. He spent 14 years at Tatts Group before departing in 2018 as Group CFO following the merger with Tabcorp. Since then he has been engaged on several projects that have sought to leverage his corporate advisory and IT experience. His public markets experience also includes managing the major financial elements for the floats of Smorgon Steel (where he was Group Financial Controller for six years) and Tattersalls (now Tatts Group). Prior to joining Tatts Group, Mr. O’Connell honed his skills managing multinational projects as Finance Director for contracting and logistics supplier Delta Group. Mr. O’Connell succeeds Steve Fleming who, after ten years as CTM’s Global CFO, will manage finalisation of the Group’s 2019 full year financial accounts and then hand-over to Mr. O’Connell. As announced in May this year, Mr. Fleming will focus entirely on his new role as CFO Europe where he has been based since 2016. Mr. O’Connell will be based in Brisbane where he will work closely with CTM Managing Director, Jamie Pherous and the CTM Board.
