Claim Central Consolidated (CCC) has embraced the “new normal” and remained busy in recent times. Last month, it welcomed former WeGoLook executives Robin Roberson and Kenneth Knoll as new managing directors to lead North America. Now, it has named Hamish McLennan as a new independent director on the board.
McLennan brings over 30 years of media industry experience to the table, most recently serving as the executive vice president of News Corporation and global chairman and chief executive officer of Young & Rubicam (R&Y).
He is also part of the board of funds management group Magellan and serves as the chairman of Australian Securities Exchange-listed digital property classifieds business REA Group, media company Here, There & Everywhere, and sporting body Rugby Australia.
As the new independent director to the CCC board, McLennan will work alongside Macquarie Group head of principal investments Australia and New Zealand Richard Turner, as well as Envest founding partner and managing director Greg Mullins.
“Claim Central is an absolute ripper and one of the best technology companies you may not have heard of,” said McLennan.
“The growth is explosive, and we have a tight and very professional board. I was attracted to the fact that Claim Central is a disrupter in the insurance industry and insurance is a massive market opportunity globally.”
