Former Ruralco CEO to help drive bank's agribusiness strategy
Bendigo and Adelaide Bank has announced the appointment of Travis Dillon (pictred) as a non-executive director, effective Feb. 21.
Dillon brings significant commercial and strategic expertise, particularly in agribusiness, an area of strategic importance for the bank as it continues to evolve its business and agribusiness division.
He previously served as chief executive and managing director of Ruralco Holdings from May 2015 until its acquisition by Nutrien in September 2019. He also chaired Clean Seas Sustainable Seafood from October 2020 to November 2024. Currently, he is the chair of Select Harvests Limited and Australian Grain Technologies and serves as deputy chair of Lifeline Australia.
Holding a master of business administration, Dillon is also a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (MAICD). He will stand for election at the bank’s annual general meeting later this year.
“Travis will be a valuable addition to the board and brings with him a strong understanding of rural and regional business as well as contemporary experience as a director of ASX-listed companies,” said Bendigo and Adelaide Bank chair Vicki Carter. “His insight will support the implementation of the new Business and Agribusiness platform and the Bank’s growth agenda.”
Dillon expressed enthusiasm about his new role.
“I’m incredibly excited and humbled to be joining Bendigo and Adelaide Bank at such an important time for the organisation,” he said. “I’m also pleased to be joining an institution with values that are aligned with my own, and I look forward to supporting the bank as it accelerates its transformation for the benefit of all its stakeholders.”
