I am delighted to announce that your Committee has chosen a successor to David Jacobs as the new CEO of the AJBCC.
From a strong shortlist, we have asked Richard Andrews to take on the task and he has readily agreed.
Richard’s last overseas DFAT posting was as the Australian Ambassador to Ireland. Prior to that he had a number of postings to the Australian Embassy in Japan. Richard is a fluent Japanese speaker with a deep and lasting affection for that country and the bi-lateral relationship.
Richard will begin with us on 15 March 2021. I am sure he will be a worthy successor to David Jacobs and continue on in that vein.
Sir Rod Eddington AO
President

Established in 1962, the AJBCC offers members access to significant companies and networks in Japan. For Associate members we offer access to Australian companies and government.
Activities such as our invitation only meetings, partnered events with other organisations and open meetings, together with our annual conference give you the chance to build business linkages.
Through the AJBCC’s strong connections with Government, both in Australia and Japan, its strong links to its counterpart body the Japan Australia Business Co-operation Committee (JABCC) as well as its corporate reach, our members can benefit by being part of this information network.
