Bastion has promoted Cheuk Chiang (pictured, left) to the role of Group Chief Executive Officer. Co-founder and current Group CEO, Jack Watts, will step into the role of Executive Director, where he will focus on strategic growth opportunities.
The leadership transition will be overseen by Bastion's Chair, Fergus Watts (pictured, right), who was Group CEO for the first 10 years of Bastion's growth.
Jack Watts said: "The past 16 years have been an extraordinary journey; to build a global business from scratch in any industry is something rare. An integral part of the growth and longevity of Bastion has been our continued evolution, knowing that what got us here, won't get us there."
"Working with Cheuk as CEO of our ANZ business over the past year has been eye-wateringly fun. He possesses a remarkable skill set, with the proven experience to lead not just a team of 350, but teams as large as 3,000. I'm excited to see the impact that Cheuk will now have across our broader group. Personally, I'm energised to spend a lot more time working with our people to solve our clients' biggest problems with new offerings and capabilities that help give them a competitive advantage."
Cheuk added: "It's an honour to take the reins from Jack and lead Bastion into its next phase."
"Looking ahead, our vision is to scale Bastion to be the world's strongest independent network driving innovation, embracing emerging technologies and expanding our global footprint while staying true to our entrepreneurial spirit."
Founded in 2009, by brothers Fergus and Jack Watts, Bastion now operates in 10 cities and five countries with over 350 employees.
