Our Executive
The Haven Home Safe Executive Team are specialists in their respective fields and bring extensive experience to their roles. The team leads our 200 employees to deliver on our purpose to provide hope care and help to prevent homelessness, end housing stress and sustain Victoria’s regional communities.
This year the organisation took steps to simplify its structure to ensure we can continue to deliver on the needs of our clients, meet government priorities and prepare for future growth. From 24 January 2022, People and Culture, Finance and Corporate Services were repositioned into one business unit. These changes impacted two Executive Directors, Paul Sommerville and Kerri Carr. Paul made the decision to resign, finishing up with HHS after 24 years of service. Kerri Carr stepped into the role of Head of Risk Assurance, bringing her expertise into this critical area.
