Levande, the former retirement living business of Stockland now owned by Swedish investor EQT, has appointed Kevin McCoy interim CEO, and he has agreed to be considered for permanent appointment, Levande chairman David Gonski told residents in a letter this week. Mr Gonski thanked former CEO Suzanne Dvorak and said chief operating officer Michelle Bruggeman would act as CEO until Mr McCoy begins at the end of the month. In a statement the company said ‘‘now is the right time to appoint a new CEO with strong expertise in both property and care.’’ Ms Dvorak could not be reached for comment.
