“The appointment of this Executive role is a cornerstone role to assist in the Club providing the best possible environment to attract and retain the highest quality team to lead the Club to sustained success.”

Commenting on the appointment, Gale noted "Lauren is an exceptional Tasmanian who has all of the ingredients we are looking for to help build this Club. Not only has Lauren had a distinguished Executive career to date, she is also a Tasmanian who is passionate about creating positive outcomes for Tasmanian people.

"Lauren has a proven track record in areas of great importance to our Club, particularly in the areas of leadership and organisational development. I am thrilled that Lauren will be joining the Club at this time as we embark on the growth journey required to get us to first bounce."

Looking forward to her new role, Jauncey noted "to join the Tasmania Devils at this stage of the journey is a significant professional opportunity, an opportunity to not only deliver results for the Club, but for all of Tasmania."
