Mr Radda brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success as a senior executive in the commercial furniture sector.

Most recently with Miller Knoll as Vice President North Asia and Pacific, his experience and focus on strategic planning, financial management and team development – together with his previous roles in the not-for-profit sector – make him the ideal choice for this role.

Mr Radda is also the current Co-Chair of First Super and Chair of Super Benefits Administration.

His appointment as CEO is strategically important for ForestWorks as the organisation continues its growth trajectory.

The Worker Support Program for the Victorian hardwood sector; our Jobs & Skills Council partnership with Skills Insight and our recent tender response for the Forestry Workforce Training Program are headline activities for ForestWorks.

The Board is confident that Mr Radda’s vision and leadership will further strengthen ForestWorks ability to deliver skills related services to our industries. We look forward to continuing to grow and develop our key stakeholder partnerships and deliver industry-led projects.

The Board of Directors wish to acknowledge and thank outgoing interim CEO, Angela Bell, for her excellent work since taking on the interim role in January 2024.
