Scott Veenker appointed Committee for Melbourne Chief Executive

The Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry 2 mins read

The Victorian Chamber and Committee for Melbourne (CfM) have appointed Scott Veenker as the inaugural Chief Executive of newly merged CfM and Melbourne Chamber of Commerce (MCC), effective immediately.

Scott Veenker was formally the Melbourne Chamber Chief Executive and has successfully steered the MCC for the last three years, navigating a post-COVID environment and challenging economic conditions. He has more than 20 years’ experience in banking and finance.

Former CfM Chief Executive Mark Melvin will remain with the Victorian Chamber in a senior capacity and will initially be a key adviser across the wider business, including a focus on the CfM integration.

Both Scott and Mark will report into Victorian Chamber Chief Executive Paul Guerra.

The CfM sits under the umbrella of the Victorian Chamber, following the June 2024 announcement that MCC and CfM would merge.

To be attributed to Committee for Melbourne Chief Executive Scott Veenker:

“I’m thrilled to take the Committee for Melbourne into the next exciting era, with an amplified voice. We will continue to advocate for the best possible outcomes for business and support members through our extensive membership offering.

“I thank Mark Melvin for his continued contributions to Melbourne’s business community and look forward to working together to serve our members.”

To be attributed to Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chief Executive Paul Guerra:

“Scott has a proven track record of understanding the needs of Melbourne’s business community. His leadership will take the Committee for Melbourne to new heights, influencing local, state and federal governments to affect policy and exchange ideas to lead Victorian business into the future.

“Memberships now represent better value than ever as the merger combines the expertise, strengths and resources of these two proud organisations.

“I’m also delighted that Mark Melvin will continue with the Chamber, and his wealth of experience and leadership will help us further the great work of the Chamber. I expect both Scott and Mark to be brilliant contributors into the future.”
