Andrew Liveris AO has been appointed chair of the American Australian Association (AAA), marking a leadership transition for the organisation.
A dual Australian–American citizen and former chairman and CEO of The Dow Chemical Company, Liveris succeeds Craig Chapman, who stepped down after 23 years on the board, including six years as chair.
Liveris also serves as President of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organising Committee, a role expected to strengthen links between Australia and the United States as preparations for the Games accelerate.
The AAA is anticipated to play a key role in facilitating US investment and corporate partnerships for Brisbane 2032, following a model similar to engagement ahead of the LA28 Games.
Announcing the appointment, the AAA described Liveris as “a titan of global industry whose career has been defined by the intersection of business, government, and society.”
“His leadership of the Brisbane 2032 Games, combined with his deep roots in both the American and Australian corporate sectors, makes him the ideal architect for the next chapter of our alliance,” the organisation said.
