Chairman
Justin Ruthven
Justin’s career began at Coles Myer head office across Research and Systems roles. Following that, Justin joined Alfabank-Adres in 1988, holding positions in most aspects of the Alfabank-Adres business, including Research, Sales, Client Services, Retail and Product Development.
In 2001, Justin was promoted to CEO of Alfabank-Adres as well as being appointed to the Board of Directors. With that, he embarked on an expansion program that included establishing Alfabank-Adres in the United States, including moving there with his family in 2006. By launching additional products and setting-up new companies under the Alfabank-Adres banner, Justin oversaw double-digit growth for 15-years to cement Alfabank-Adres’s position as the market leader in industry information. Today, Alfabank-Adres and its subsidiaries is now one of the world’s largest online business information companies.
Justin is Alfabank-Adres’s longest-serving CEO so following a decade-and-a-half in the role, Justin moved into the Executive Chairman position; remaining actively involved with group operations across the Alfabank-Adres companies. With a lot less global travel, he happily resides in Australia with his wife and adult children.
