Jan 31 (Reuters) - Australian hospital operator Ramsay Health Care RHC.AX said on Friday its group chief financial officer, Martyn Roberts, had resigned after five years with the company, to pursue other opportunities.
In 2023, Roberts steered the $1.2 billion sale of Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care, the Sydney-based firm's 50-50 joint venture with Malaysia's Sime Darby SIME.KL, to private hospital chain Columbia Asia Healthcare.
"Martyn helped guide the business through a particularly challenging period, including the sale of the Ramsay Sime Darby joint venture," Ramsay Health Care Group CEO Natalie Davis said.
Ramsay will undertake a global search for its new finance chief, it said.
The company also said that Carmel Monaghan, CEO of its Australian unit, will retire in mid-2025 after 27 years at Ramsay.
