Steve Browning will return to a role in healthcare after a two-year stint in the hospitality sector where he will lead the financial and procurement services for the organisation.

Browning has extensive commercial, financial and organisational leadership experience across a wide range of sectors including healthcare, hospitality and media.

He comes to Southern Cross from recent dual roles with Starbucks and Burger King where he was head of finance and chief financial officer respectively.

Previously, Browning was group CFO of Green Cross Health and has also held senior management roles with TVNZ and Freeview.

At Southern Cross, Browning is responsible for the provision of core financial services and systems to the national Southern Cross network of hospitals and healthcare providers.

He will also lead the development and management of a range of financial support services for joint venture partner businesses.

Southern Cross Healthcare interim chief executive Chris White says Browning's broad knowledge and experience will be a great asset to the organisation in what continues to be an exceptionally exciting time for the health sector.

“We are focused on a programme of transformation to meet future patient needs and are well positioned to continue leading the sector in new technology development and healthcare delivery excellence."

Browning holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Auckland University and is a member of the NZ Institute of Chartered Accountants.
