Abercrombys Real Estate has appointed Sally O’Connell as its new CEO, marking a significant leadership transition for the luxury Melbourne real estate firm.
Ms O’Connell will succeed Andrew Harlock, who will remain actively involved as a Shareholder and continue to support the sales arm of the business.
With over two decades of experience in finance and real estate, Ms O’Connell brings a wealth of expertise from her previous roles.
A former Director of the RiSE Initiative Australia, Ms O’Connell maintains her commitment to mental health and wellbeing advocacy within the real estate industry.
“It’s an honour to be entrusted with the opportunity to propel Abercrombys toward continued success,” Ms O’Connell said.
“For over 20 years, the business has been a leader in the luxury and lifestyle real estate market, building a legacy of excellence and trust.
“My vision for Abercrombys is to create a seamless, portfolio-driven approach that transforms how we serve our clients.”
Ms O’Connell’s corporate journey began in finance at Investec, where she directed capital-raising initiatives for property-backed funds and private equity investments before transitioning to real estate.
Her expertise led her to the prestigious position of Victorian Segment Head of Real Estate at Macquarie Bank, where she became a trusted advisor in the industry.
Outgoing CEO Andrew Harlock expressed confidence in his successor’s appointment.
“O’Connell was a natural choice to lead the business into its next chapter,” Mr Harlock said.
“Abercrombys’ choice to appoint Sally as CEO has been made not only because she’s the best in her field but because of her laser focus on growth and innovation.”
Now entering its 20th year of operation, Abercrombys continues to focus on growth and innovation while maintaining its strong international presence in luxury real estate.
