Appointment follows death of Michael Browne.

Datacom director Jonathan Ladd has been appointed Datacom Group CEO following the recent sudden death of former CEO Michael Browne. Ladd is based in Sydney and has been a director at Datacom for four years. The company says he worked closely with Browne on many aspects of the company's development.

He has 33 years' experience in IT, including 10 years as chief information officer at P&O.

Datacom says its directors felt it was important to quickly establish certainty among staff and customers about the CEO position.
