GFH said in a statement Fahour had been appointed by the Australian government as managing director at Australia Post and current Group Deputy Chief Executive Ted Pretty had been appointed acting CEO.

“It was a surprise, and sudden,” Pretty told Reuters in a phone interview.

Fahour was appointed chief executive in late July and oversaw a $300 million rights issue in October, and GFH is now planning to build new revenue streams in asset management, investment and commercial banking.
