The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) has named current Executive Director, Strategy at the Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA), Suzy Neilan, as its new CEO, replacing Annette Kimmitt.
According to information from the regulator, Neilan – who will start in the role on 1 April – brings nearly 20 years of senior executive expertise in the public and private sectors, specifically in the fields of regulation, transformation and customer service.
She has held her role with the EPA for the past three-and-a-half years, including periods of Acting CEO, the VGCCC said.
“As the VGCCC enters the next phase of the program of transformation we began three years ago, Suzy’s experience leading digital and technology transformation, and her deep understanding of education, enforcement and compliance will continue to ensure the Commission is well placed to meet future challenges and ensure the integrity, safety and fairness of the gambling industry,” said VGCCC Chair, Chris O’Neill.
“Suzy’s commitment to achieving regulatory outcomes that benefit Victorians makes her a strong leader to support the Commission and head the agency’s executive leadership team.”
Neilan added, “I am excited by the opportunity to contribute to the VGCCC’s success and look forward to working with the dedicated and talented people at the VGCCC to make a positive difference for Victorian communities.”
