Ex-NAB boss a leading candidate for Essendon CEO job

Thorburn, who has been given the task of reviewing all of Essendon’s operations, is a favourite to fill the position once the club’s review has been completed.

Thorburn also was a member of the panel that appointed Brad Scott as the new senior coach of Essendon and has been spearheading the review of the club’s board, administration, staff, football department and culture, as new president David Barham seeks to overhaul the club after taking over the presidency in August.

If appointed, Thorburn, an Essendon fan, would become the first former CEO of one of Australia’s largest companies to run an AFL club. Thorburn resigned from the NAB following the release of the final report of the Royal Commission into the banking and superannuation industry, following] criticisms of Thorburn and then exiting NAB chairman Ken Henry from commissioner Kenneth Hayne.

Thorburn is the chairman of the Sentient Impact Group, an investment fund that focuses on clean energy, land and water and is a senior adviser to the Boston Consulting Group.

agerealfooty JakeNiallTHEAGE Andrew Thornburn has the right to be a bigoted Christian and we, the Essendon faithful have the right to object to his bigotry. That’s how I see it not as he put it: “Today it became clear to me that my personal Christian faith is not tolerated or permitted in the public square”

agerealfooty JakeNiallTHEAGE 'Appearing before the Royal Commission, NAB Chief Executive Officer Andrew Thorburn defended the fees-for-no-service issue as a “process issue” rather than dishonesty' Sounds like exactly the kind of person Essendon want after their drugs saga...
