Fronditha Care CEO Michael Malakonas, who assumed his duties in mid-October 2019, has resigned from his post at the helm of the aged care facility.
When appointed to the post, Mr Malakonas had stood out from a strong field of candidates thanks to his experience at a CEO, CFO and COO level and 29 years of finance, accounting, operations, governance and general management experience under his belt.
Jill Taylor (Nikitaki) informed members of the group of his resignation and said that the recruitment process had commenced to appoint a replacement from Mr Malakonas.
