McKenzie, who has served as Boral’s Chief Operating Officer since July 2025, brings extensive operational and executive experience to the role, the company said in a media release.  

He previously held the position of Executive General Manager, Concrete and Quarries (South), and has held leadership roles at Cleanaway, Oracle Utilities, and GE. Boral said his familiarity with the company’s operations, people, and strategy ensures continuity of leadership.

Ryan Stokes AO, SGH MD & CEO, said: “Matt is the right leader for this next phase of Boral’s growth. He knows this business deeply, has been central to the operational momentum we have built, and has the experience and discipline to take it further. The Board has every confidence in his ability to continue delivering for our customers, employees and shareholders.”

Bansal added: “It has been a genuine privilege to lead Boral. I am proud of what the Boral team has achieved and leave with great confidence in the business and in the leadership that will take it forward. I am excited to be joining the SGH Board as a Director where I can continue to support the growth and performance of the company.”

McKenzie said: “I am honoured to take on this role. The foundations Vik and the team have built are strong, and my focus is clear: to continue improving safety performance, drive operational excellence across every site, and deliver for our customers. I am looking forward to the work ahead.”

Boral confirmed that its strategy and commercial direction will remain unchanged, continuing to execute its Good to Great priorities, focusing on safety, margin improvement, network optimisation, and customer delivery.
