CEO Announcement from Opportunity

By Opportunity International Australia

Opportunity International Australia is delighted to announce that Scott Walters has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer, with effect from 5 July 2021.

Scott was most recently the Chief Fundraising Officer for Bible Society Australia, a role he held for the past seven years. Previously, he was Head of Strategic Partnerships for The Smith Family. With an extensive background in financial planning, stockbroking and marketing before his move to the for-purpose sector, Scott brings the depth of business and fundraising experience needed for the role, as well as a passion for alleviating poverty.

He has previously held roles at the CEO level of both listed and unlisted entities, and has demonstrated strength in fundraising, relationship management, events, and internal and external stakeholder management in both the commercial sector and the for-purpose sector. Scott is committed to bringing thought leadership, relationship building, strategic thinking, financial and business acumen to the role.

Scott is an exceptional leader, with more than 35 years of achievement in Australia and overseas. Opportunity's Board looks forward to working with Scott as he continues our efforts to help families free themselves from poverty, with hope, dignity and purpose, especially in light of the impact COVID-19 is having on the most vulnerable.

Opportunity would like to thank current Chief Executive Officer, Meredith Scott, for her immense contribution to the organisation and families living in poverty over the past three years. Meredith is stepping down due to health issues and will continue her support to Opportunity in any capacity she can.
