Dan Murphy's and BWS parent Endeavour Group has announced a series of changes to its Group Executive Leadership Team including chief marketing officer Jo Rose, who is set to leave the company after three years to spend more time with her family in the UK.

Rose has been leading the marketing and customer teams since joining the business shortly after its demerger, having moved to Australia almost nine years ago to join Woolworths.

Paul Carew has been appointed as the Managing Director of ALH Hotels, with his new role commencing in the new year. Carew is currently serving as the Chief Operating Officer at Tabcorp. He will replace interim ALH Hotels Managing Director Paul Walton, who has been leading the business since Mario Volpe stepped down in 2023 due to health issues. Walton will return to his substantive role leading the Group’s Pinnacle Drinks business.

Endeavour Group has also created a new role of Chief Transformation Officer, which will be filled by Harinder Saluja. Saluja joins from the NSW Government’s Process and Technology Harmonisation Program. Meanwhile, Ilana Stringer will step down as Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer in February after more than three years with Endeavour and five years with Woolworths prior to the demerger.

Both Jo Rose and Ilana Stringer will continue in their roles until the second quarter of the next calendar year.

Endeavour Group Chief Executive Officer Steve Donohue said: "Paul and Harinder bring new skills and deep experience to the executive team and will help drive the next phase of Endeavour’s success. I am very pleased they have accepted these important roles with the business." He also thanked Walton for his leadership of ALH Hotels, saying, "I would also like to thank Paul Walton for his leadership of ALH Hotels, taking on the role in difficult circumstances and creating substantial value for the business."

Donohue also acknowledged the contributions of the outgoing executives, stating: "Jo and Ilana have both made outstanding contributions to Endeavour, establishing strong platforms for growth and improving the performance of the business. On behalf of the entire management team, I wish them the very best for the future."
