Stockland appoints former Australand executive Tiernan O'Rourke as new finance boss

Tiernan O’Rourke has been appointed as the new chief financial officer at Stockland as part of the management shake-up by chief executive Mark Steinert.

O’Rourke will commence in the role on October 20 with current CFO Tim Foster remaining on board until the end of October to ensure a smooth transition.

Steinert announced in May that Foster would step down later in the year once a replacement had been appointed.

O'Rourke is currently chief financial officer at Transfield Services Limited and was previously finance chief at Australand.

A month again, Stockland appointed Andrew Whitson as group executive and chief executive of Stockland's residential business following the departure of Stockland’s former head of residential, Mark Hunter in May.

At the same time Stephen Bull promotedgeneral manager development and design (commercial property) as its new group executive and chief executive of retirement living following the resignation of David Pitman.

Steinert took over as new Stockland boss in January, replacing Matthew Quinn.
