(ASX:LLC) has appointed a former CFO of Leighton Holdings as its director of operations.
Scott Charlton will take on the newly created role and will be responsible for driving efficiency and performance across Lend Lease’s key corporate functions.

During his six years at Leighton, he was responsible for treasury, investment and capital management functions and was appointed CFO in June 2007.
