Transport operator Kelsian Group has announced the appointment of Graeme Legh as its new CEO, leaning on his 15 years’ experience with the group.
Legh will be taking over the role from Clint Feuerherdt, who has spent the last 15 years transforming Transit Systems and then SeaLink into what is now known as Kelsian Group.

Kelsian Group Chair Fiona Hele says while stepping down as CEO, Feuerherdt will remain a valued part of the business in a strategic advisor role.
“With many thanks to Clint for his commitment and determination in growing the business, we are pleased to retain his broad expertise and experience, while also supporting his personal goals for the next phase of his career and balancing his work and family life,” Hele says.
“His knowledge and significant global experience are invaluable to our group, and he will focus on key strategic projects that optimise our portfolio and enhance business performance.”
Legh says essential transport is “the backbone to smart and successful cities across the world” and he looks forwards to contributing to the future.
“Having worked alongside Clint for the past 15 years, I step into this role with a deep understanding of all aspects of the business and with a commitment to continue delivering results,” Legh says.
“I am proud to lead Kelsian into its next phase of success.”
Hele says Kelsian is well-positioned for ongoing future success.
“This business has always been about people, innovation, and delivering world-class transport solutions,” she says.
“From winning Australia’s first franchised tender, to transitioning more public transport contracts than any other operator, while delivering Australia’s largest electric bus depot and fleet, we have continued to set new benchmarks.
“With our strategic succession plan in action, Graeme takes the helm, supported by an outstanding leadership team.
“We’re excited to keep moving forward.”
