The Cleaning Accountability Framework (CAF) has appointed Samantha O’Connor as its new CEO.
CAF is an independent, multi-stakeholder initiative that seeks to improve labour and cleaning standards in Australia.CAF certification promotes and assesses compliance with federal workplace laws by educating and engaging with all tiers of the supply chain.
According to CAF, O’Connor brings to the organisation “strong commercial and governance skills from her 20 years of experience working in funds management, investment banking and financial services in Australia and Japan.”
Tony Beck, chairman of CAF, said O’Connor has joined CAF at a pivotal time in the organisation’s development.
“Her senior executive experience in financial services, sustainability and governance will ensure CAF’s continuing success in providing assurance in the cleaning services supply chain to protect vulnerable workers. She is well placed to take CAF’s success to the next level,” said Beck.
“I would like to thank outgoing CEO, Poonan Datar for her dedication, leadership and vision of CAF. Under her leadership CAF has achieved many milestones including: launching and expanding Building Certification to six states; launching Contractor Prequalification; and growing our membership.
“In alignment with our strategic plan, the CAF team has grown substantially in the last financial year, and CAF is now more resourced than ever to meet the demand for our industry best practice services”.
Commenting on her appointment, O’Connor said: “It is an exciting time to join CAF, as we work to scale the Certification Scheme and offer expanded services to building owners, building managers, contractors and cleaners.”
