National Retail Association names Greg Griffith as new CEO

Greg Griffith has been named the new CEO of the National Retail Association (NRA), effective early next year.

Griffith has experience in executive management roles and joins the NRA from Family Business Australia & New Zealand, where he is currently the CEO and company secretary. Yesterday he posted a message on his LinkedIn account saying after six years in the role, and having “given my all” it was the right time to make a move.

Griffith was also CEO of Dairy Farmers Milk Cooperative & Australian Dairy Farmers Cooperative for more than seven years and the CEO of Destination Melbourne.

“The common thread running through all of Greg’s previous roles is the community focus of each of those organisations,” said Tim Schaafsma, NRA chair.

“This is where the NRA board believes Greg will deliver the greatest value for Australian retailers. The NRA is delighted that Greg will bring that community engagement experience to the retail sector.”

NRA’s interim CEO Lindsay Carroll will continue as deputy CEO and the NRA legal practice director after Griffith commences.
