Welcome to Calleo’s new CEO

The Board of Calleo has appointed Gavin Campbell as Chief Executive Officer. In this role, Gavin will take full responsibility for the Calleo business nationally.

This is a natural next step for Gavin. Having successfully led Calleo’s expansion into the Victorian market in 2020, Gavin has not only achieved strong outcomes for departments but also built a fantastic, supportive and high‑performing culture in our VIC office along the way.

Reflecting on the appointment, David Bain‑Smith said:

“Gavin’s appointment as CEO is the right move for Calleo at the right time. As we enter our next phase of growth, we have in Gavin a leader who has earned the trust of our people, lives our values, and has the drive and discipline to execute our strategy and deliver excellence across the business. I look forward to working alongside him.”

What sets Gavin apart is his enormous care factor. He leads with empathy, trust and integrity, creating an environment where people feel genuinely supported and empowered to do their best work. That culture has been foundational to Calleo’s success in Victoria and is exactly what will enable Calleo to continue to thrive nationally.

Gavin shared his thoughts on the appointment, saying:

“It really felt like coming home when I joined Calleo. I find myself incredibly fortunate to be surrounded and supported by a great team that lives and breathes the same values. I am humbled by this appointment and I look forward to helping shape Calleo’s next chapter.”

Gavin’s appointment reflects the confidence of Calleo, its people, and has the full support of the Board, providing continuity as we continue to grow nationally.

John Lewis, Chairman of Calleo commented on Gavin’s appointment, stating:

“On behalf of the Board, I’m delighted to confirm Gavin’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer. Gavin has demonstrated exceptional leadership in building Calleo’s Victorian business and has earned the trust and respect of our people, clients and contractors. The Board has full confidence in his ability to lead Calleo through its next phase of growth and deliver on the strategic outcomes we’ve endorsed together. Business operations continue as usual — our priorities, our people, and our commitment to excellence remain unchanged.”

With Gavin’s people‑first leadership, deep operational experience and genuine commitment to the APS and the Calleo team, we’re excited about the positive impact this will have across the organisation. Please join us in congratulating Gavin.
