Bupa’s A/NZ chief information officer Sami Yalavac has been given the role of interim managing director of Bupa Australia’s health services portfolio. A Bupa spokesperson said that previous incumbent Dwayne Crombie has “returned to New Zealand as managing director of our aged care business”. Yalavac has been Bupa’s A/NZ CIO since January 2016, with responsibility across all Bupa private health insurance, care homes, optometry, dental, telehealth and “all other Bupa business in the region”. His appointment to the acting managing director role became public by way of a low-key edit to his LinkedIn profile.
