humm group limited announced that Rebecca James has notified the Board of her intention to stand down as Chief Executive Officer of hummgroup. After almost five years leading humm, Ms James is leaving to take up a new job opportunity in New Zealand, in order to be closer to family. As a result, hummgroup announce that it has appointed Stuart Grimshaw, a current non-Executive Director of the Board, to the role of Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 June 2023.

Mr. Grimshaw has been a member of the hummgroup Board since July 2022, bringing over 35 years of experience in the financial services sector. With an impressive track record including as former Chief Executive Officer of the Bank of Queensland from 2012 to 2014 and as Executive Chairman (and then Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer) of EZCorp he is ideally positioned to lead hummgroup in its next phase of growth and development. Ms James will work with the Board to transition her executive responsibilities in an orderly manner.

She will remain in her role until 31 May 2023 and will be available to support the Board, Mr. Grimshaw and the team as needed until 30 June 2023.
